Pros

Innovative technology and progressive growth strategies. Big company with fair bit of resources but still maintains a smaller company feel. Will continue to be competitive in current climate.

Cons

Large disconnect between management and 'grunts'. Very prominent management 'in-crowd' culture where often those involved in 'strategy' meetings parade their importance and stature a little more than you would normally expect (recognizing this happens at most places, just not to this extent).

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.
