Great employees, terrible direction - Anonymous employee Frontiers Employee Review

The CEO only wants feedback that fit her narrative rather than the truth. Which in turn leads the C-Level board and all subsequent upper management to block genuine facts and feedback in order to please her. Also, transparency is far from being in the company culture. Concepts are used in a cynical way as checkbox exercises rather than for what they mean (Agile never meant chaotic). And using buzzwords does not replace a strategy. Neither does starting a project with no defined success metrics, just because it is "fashionable". In the midst of all that, what suffers the most is research, as it prevents very talented employees to deliver work at full potential and adapt in order to fulfill the mission of making research more easily accessible.
