      Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to make PLOS a great place to work! Please note that we have recently become a fully remote company and our compensation now reflects this. We're excited for this new chapter as we grow and continue to expand on our mission of open access to all.

      Pros

      - Work-life balance - Decent health insurance and 401k benefits - Brilliant and interesting coworkers

      Cons

      - Really low salaries (except for the CEO and other executives, who are paid above what is considered average for a non-profit) - No consideration/adjustment of salaries for inflation - Questionable leadership decisions with little thought on how it may impact individual teams - Lack of professional development opportunities - Very few promotional opportunities - Slow moving organization and lack of resources - Lack of transparency around leadership decisions

      Pros

      I worked with interesting people

      Cons

      Too much work for too little money. Many editors were doing work from home outside of job hours to try and keep up, but most were hesitant to admit it.
