Pros

A lot of intelligent, friendly colleagues. Good income. Nice enough workplace environment

Cons

Constant restructuring over too many years has created a lot of job uncertainty for many people. Too many changes of top level management who then restart the same process all over again.

Thanks for taking the time to write. Industry change is challenging and can create a lot of uncertainty. Navigating that so that all employees are informed and (hopefully) aligned with the company strategy is equally challenging. Thanks for taking the time to let your voice be heard. We're doing everything we can to ensure that we offer a stable, supportive environment.

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.
