People are fleeing - Anonymous employee PLOS Employee Review

Too many to list. Terrible management &; poor communication (it’s the worst kind: pretence of being open & transparent & wanting to hear from staff but then making decisions & never fully explaining or rationalizing them & never responding to concerns raised by staff, let alone addressing them). As a previous reviewer said there is no real strategy or plan for how to move forwards (main plan seems to be to save money by getting rid of people, sometimes with RIFs and sometimes by framing a cull as a reorganization, Sometimes saving money by taking ages to backfill vacancies, all the while talking about some kind of miracle new innovation & related revenue stream - only trouble being no one knows what this is).
