Pros

committed, intelligent and friendly colleagues

Cons

Poor leadership with inability to translate strategic vision into practical realtiy. Too much vacuous business-speak from above and not enough understanding of how the comapny's inefficient systems hamper productivity and creativity. Good people leaving fast and copany runs risk of losing critical mass of exoperience and knowledge. Hard to regain once lost. Reorganistions have resulted in a top-heavy and overcomplicated management styructure.

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.
