Pros

-Time off/Benefits -Does not require you to work your best everyday. -Work/Life balance

Cons

-Compensation is low. Wiley claims to pay based on industry averages however you can easily go to other publishing houses and make more more. -Lives in the glory of mid 2000's. Wiley was once "the place to be" so much that is was their motto. However in recent years the company culture has taken a turn for the worse. The company seems to be in a period of permanent restructuring for the last 4 years. -The org structure at Wiley is odd to say the least. The 3 business units do not communicate or work in collaboration even though they would greatly benefit from it. - Company does not reward hard work, only well liked.

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.

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.
