Pros

It's a very comfortable place to work, relaxed environment, great benefits. For many years Wiley valued their employees and created an environment that provided job safety.

Cons

Catch 22, great benefits-low pay. Relaxed environment-no room to advance. Slow to update with technological changes in publishing world. Stagnant, when willing to change this company makes drastic decision that don't make sense.

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.
