Pluspunten
Benefits: 401K matching, many different health plans to choose from, bonus program Mission: employees come to PLOS to support the mission - accelerate scientific research, promote open access and open science, etc. PLOS is considered "one of the good guys" in scientific publishing compared to it's competitors
Minpunten
Management: I am/was a manager at PLOS and the politics get in the way of any progress. Product and Editorial teams drive the organizational priorities but do not deliver on their commitments. You cannot express your opinion without fear of retribution from senior management. Teams that have consistently delivered on organizational commitments, reduced costs and improved processes have become marginalized under the new CEO. We thought a new CEO would bring change that would benefit the entire organization and the staff is disappointed. Expect a lot of turnover in the coming months.
