Thanks for the positive feedback - I’m glad that things are largely good for you. We’re aware that things feel particularly pressured for some of us right now - that’s a result of the continuing growth in submissions and implementation of our global growth strategy. We’re working on ways to alleviate that so I hope that you feel some relief soon - please talk to your manager if things remain difficult.

A great community culture with a real people focused approach to work

As with any smaller company you have to be prepared to take on projects and task which may not classically fall within your job role.

Thank you for the input! It's encouraging to know that you're experiencing a people-centered approach at PLOS. It can indeed be a challenge to provide well-structured roles without "other duties creep" when team resources or priorities change, especially given the transitions that have come with new leadership the past couple of years. It's been great to see team structures maturing and stabilizing, and I'm optimistic that will be the case on your team as well :).
