Pros

Good salaries. Great pension scheme. Good training available if it's your first or second role.

Cons

Significant bullying from US management. Most decisions taken in the US. Constant change and restructuring. New project constantly initiated and and then cancelled after enormous amounts of effort have been expended on them. Destructive corporate politics at senior level. US very intolerant of part-time or flexible working.

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.
