Pros

Lovely, talented, colleagues and decent (if slow moving) salaries. Flexible WFH policy

Cons

Upper management believed their own PR, made a series of calamitous mistakes and the company is now unpleasant to work for. In the past year, roles and policies have changed very regularly. These changes were rushed as a result of upper management’s existential panic about the company, and were implemented without adequate consideration for how employees would be able to adapt to them. Employees were asked for feedback about each change but at no stage has it felt that that feedback had any meaningful impact, and seems more like a tool to create manufactured consent for whatever upper management had planned. The corporate spin is relentless. Even the announcement of 600 redundancies was unveiled as a misty-eyed march towards a leaner -AI driven- future (cue the rat figure). The spin continues internally, with even the most overtly bad news coming with a side helping of the same saccharine piffle used in press releases.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Providing new and even more robust avenues for open communication is a focus for us this year. It has been incredibly difficult for everyone to go through a period of redundancies and there is no easy way to communicate such news. We were very transparent about our challenges, how to address them, as well as the future. Please contact feedback.ta@frontiersin.org if you would like to give any further feedback.
