Poor leadership, hire and fire culture, micromanagement - Front Row is not Finc3 anymore
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- their expertise - they are real experts in terms of retail media and amazon
- the office
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- Leadership trainings, especially for directors
- stop the hire and fire culture
- stop focusing only on billable hours,
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Over the years, I was able to observe a tendency of so called elbow society, which is strongly developing. High performers, who are willing to invest a lot of over hours are very much appreciated and get promotions. If you are very good in presenting your self, if you are very outgoing, they see and appreciate you. A lot of colleagues though are quiet and introverted high performers, who are certainly not seen and appreciated. Instead, some even get fired. Or lets say "asked to leave".
Kommunikation
Communication is one of their super powers. Management communicates transparent, at least this is what they show. In fact, a lot of things are not properly communicated and brushed under the carpet. Im wondering why over the years so many colleagues where gone from one day to another, without any headsup or notice period.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Highly depends on the team. I loved my team.
Work-Life-Balance
Officially, you can work whenever you want. The truth is, you have to reach a very high a mount of billable hours, which oftentimes is simply not possibly, due to the high number of internal responsibilities which are expected to be managed as well. So overhours are not only expected, but necessary, if you want to be seen adn appreciated
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Highly depends on the lead. There are some really empathic and supportive ones, while you have some leads, especially some directors who are not. I think some leadership trainings could be helpful.
Interessante Aufgaben
if you are eager to learn, you can definitely take over very interesting responsibilities.
Gleichberechtigung
Within the last 2 years, I have seen at least 3 highly capable women leaving very fast after coming back from their maternity leave. Since the company is promoting itself as so family friendly and supporting, Im wondering why.
Im also wondering why the company consists of roughly 50% international colleagues, but the leads mostly are german or at least white colleagues? Also the management is 100% male. You can draw your conclusions yourself here.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
The company is focusing on hiring young (and cheap?) colleagues
Arbeitsbedingungen
The new office is awesome. The micromanagement is not.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
The company is focusing on highly capable international talents, who they pay way under the market standard. Other than that, the payment depends on how urgent they need you. Some colleagues are earning way too less, while others were able to negotiate really high salaries, which are according to market standards. I can only recommend people to start talking about your salaries.

Front Row is a company full of experts and everything they do, is with full heart and purpose. I really loved working with high professionals.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Depends on the level of over hours you are willing to invest.
