Pros

Good benefits and work-life balance. Many professionals who genuinely care about their work and yours. Opportunity to work with global teams, especially between the US and UK, as well as Russia, India and Germany. Solid editorial teams produce great content.

Cons

Excessive office politics. Far too many layers of management. Management is secretive but not strategic. Business users need a better understanding of the technology they use and manage, and many of them don't know that they are missing these skills. Training team and management have not addressed these challenges. Business processes in technology are time consuming and often pointless. Morale in business and technology areas has been hit hard by multiple, poorly executed layoffs and reorganizations, and by the remaining teams being spread too thin.

Pros

Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

Cons

Pay and hybrid office work

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
