Pros

Wiley is a global brand, but in India this is a worse company anyone can ever work in. The kind of attitude which the management has towards employees is that of slavery. Vikas Gupta has no respect for any person and treats every employee in the company as his personal slaves. Only people who would help him in his personal business would be favored. If you are happy being a slave then this is the company to join.

Cons

Wiley would not have a business at all in few years in India, due to poor management. Companies lose business and good resources due to bad management. The MD of India office is arrogant and has no empathy on how to talk to people. Only if you are a favorite of the management, then only you would get growth in the company and if you need growth, then be ready to bootlick your boss. Also, there is 0 work life balance. You are expected to work 24/7 in all departments except the MD.

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.
