Pros

Flexible working time, nice team colleagues

Cons

- poor management, feels now like a political party where positions and promotions are decided behind closed doors - bonus was cut in half because an acquired company did not do as well as expected, yet dividend was increased - supposedly a people organization but people (employees who do the hard work) come last

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.
