Pros

I worked at Wiley for about two years, and I still miss working there. I was well supported, and my supervisor helped develop my publishing career. After about a year I got a sort-of promotion, as there was a new position opened that pretty much everyone in charge wanted me to do. Loved having a cafeteria and coffee bar in the building. Lunchtime was a great way to enjoy spending time with coworkers, instead of just eating lunch at your desk.

Cons

It's a pretty large corporate environment, so it can feel a little dry and boring sometimes. Also, like most publishers, the career growth can be slow. I lucked out early on, but if I had stayed at the company I don't know if i would have advanced again for a long time.

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.
