Pros

Good pay. Fun social activities held in offices from time to time. Work from home opportunities are available. Good benefits.

Cons

Constant layoffs and reorganizations. terrible management. Loads of people work hard with little appreciation. Issues are never addressed. Just a toxic environment. Do not come to work here. Too much chaos. Just a mess.

One star? Ouch. While changing and adapting to new situations is important for growth it can often be chaotic. Sorry that your time here seemed to be more of the latter. We value hard work and we're always looking to improve our employee experience so thanks for the feedback.

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.
