      Pros

      The company is stable and continues to have good reputation for our products.

      Cons

      Through so many changes in the last couple of years with restructuring and management it is nearly impossible to do anything. HR is biggest problem starting with their head. HR is bloated and not accountable- no workflow and no one owns anything. Communication is in control of a few so all announcements are HR related. Management appears more silo than ever each with their own agenda. So many new people at the top so no opportunities for long timers. Just feel like they’re switching out all old people with all new and we’re just waiting for our time to be up. Very sad as it was once a family atmosphere and there were great relationships including with our authors and partners.

      Periods of change are often difficult to navigate and can sometimes affect even the simplest of processes, which is why accountability is so important. It is our firm belief that everyone at Wiley should feel empowered to participate in those changes while also feeling valued and respected for the work they do. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.

      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.
