      Pros

      Very reasonable working hours, minimal overtime. Great coworkers and supportive work environment for the most part. Good opportunities to move up within the company.

      Cons

      Management can be out of touch with the issues facing staff - primarily under-resourcing. Pay could be better - it's benchmarked to other publishing companies rather than other tech firms, but PLOS expects tech-firm type skills (business ops, data analysis)
