Not a Scientific role, more Admin/publishing quotas - Assistant Editor MDPI Employee Review

The role is primarily administrative, not truly editorial or scientific. Heavy focus on publishing volume and quotas, rather than quality of scientific content. Questionable scientific integrity of some manuscripts. Work largely involved cold-contacting academics to secure peer reviews, which many found intrusive. Progress is monitored heavily by overseas management, with little flexibility. High pressure and little job security; targets must be met exactly.
