Pros

Some very friendly and helpful employees

Cons

I was fired half-way through my probation period without any warning or explanation, leaving my family in a difficult financial position. Stay well away!

Parting ways is always a difficult decision that we take with great responsibility, weighted in the best interests of the team; I've learned this to be the approach with leaders throughout the organization. I can only speak to the process during my time at PLOS, in which there have been no separations without warning or explanation beforehand. We sincerely wish you and your family the best during these difficult times.
