Pros

Pros include passionate, astute colleagues who are enthusiastic about PLOS and science, many with years of experience under their belt at the organization. PLOS is a place where you feel like you are truly contributing to the better good. Good management. Extremely good benefits.

Cons

Tons of different types of software used, many of which overlap. Conflicting messaging about career development opportunities. The split between and communication around in-office and remote employees can be confusing and contradictory.

Your feedback is much appreciated; it helps us understand what we're getting right and what we can improve upon. I've also appreciated our astute and dedicated people, and one of the best benefit packages I've experienced to-date. PLOS is at an interesting time in its journey, and we take your advise to heart: the management team is exploring how we'll leverage an adaptive, growth mindset in the next chapters as PLOS expands its legacy in breaking barriers to open science. We're also continuing to explore how to enhance our communications across all channels, and certainly have room to grow , especially as it relates to remote workers. Thank you for being with us on this journey, and please don't hesitate to bring your ideas forward to leaders so that we can co-create the kind of place we're all proud to work at.
