      A nice place to work - Anonymous employee PLOS Employee Review

      Pros

      PLOS works hard to make sure staff feel supported with frequent meetings with line managers and managers. The offices are nice and open and there are opportunities to socialise and relax such as weekly Friday events with food and drink, and monthly breakfasts. The people who work there are passionate about the company and their jobs, and the new CEO is working hard to improve communication and openness.

      Cons

      The work can get quite repetitive and is very adminy. Although people come from both scientific and publishing backgrounds an interest in science is pretty important for you to find the papers and work interesting. Quite quiet office.
