      Pros

      Good office, good benefits... nice cafeteria, nice location

      Cons

      The company is on its way down - they kept talking about transforming and when they get any proposal to transform they developed cold feet. What is worst -There are a few old-timers of a certain color who would demean subordinates, tell disrespectful things about your race... tell you inappropriate stuff outside of the office... and then when you complaint then they will do a staged investigation and then tell you the person concern declined having done such behavior...(what else did they expect??) if you are a colored individual and in the tech team - would would be fine, anywhere else you may encounter these bullies and their peers and bosses are afraid of them... so stay away... or join and shut up...

      Thanks for the review. I can assure you that Wiley takes any and all accusations of racism, bullying, and other violations of business and social conduct seriously. We maintain high expectations about professional and person conduct, and our policies and practices are prominently available from the company intranet. We also maintain a confidential hotline for employee complaints in addition to rigorous investigation process. It benefits nobody - especially the company - to foster or tolerate anti-social behavior.

      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.
