      Pros

      PLOS is a mission driven organisation and the staff who work there really care. It's a relaxed and focussed office and I have enjoyed my time there.

      Cons

      PLOS is currently going through a tough financial time, which could be unsettling for some.

      A nice place to work

      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.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! It's helpful to know the social mixers in place have a positive impact, and that the transparency and communication improvements are being felt across the organization.
