Pros
PLOS has a good mission. The people who end up working there are young and believe in what they're doing. Management nominally wants to leverage this.
Cons
I left PLOS because it was not a good place to grow. There was a highly bureaucratic system for determing company wide policy that often left employees clueless and poorly motivated. Add to that a cliquish work environment that verges on toxic, and you have good reason to leave while you still can. PLOS likes to hire outside contractors to do work, but this this often leads to abandonded and poorly understood technology/workflows.
