Pros

Competitive benefits package and charity work that is being executed in our local offices. Our December Seasons of Giving was a great opportunity to spend time with co-workers to wrap gifts for those in need.

Cons

I have been with Frontier Technology Inc. (FTI) through tremendous growth under Ron Shroder's leadership, when FTI had a strong culture and was deeply rooted in the 4C's. Unfortunately, that culture has slowly eroded away. For the past 4 years, we have gone backward. We walked away from the core at what made us successful and we have replaced leadership with a C-Suite that only cares about profit and EBITDA and less about truly pleasing our dwindling customer base. The rotating door of new leadership with our customers is getting old and tiresome and too be honest, they don't care. They want to see flawless execution and technology that can solve their problems. We have gone from having SBIR Phase III Contracts to MAC IDIQ's that we will have a hard time winning and task orders on. The pressure is consistently put on us in operations to not only execute the business but to also find new business, while no accountability exists for a failed C-suite that is geographically dispersed across the United States. No new business in years; constant churn in leadership; defense related technology that is vaporware with no ATO; and a pipeline that we are asked to populate that is far from the truth and inflated at leaderships request.
