      Once Excellent Place to Work - Editorial Director Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      Wiley truly cared about work/life balance, and allowed reasonable telecommuting and time off as needed. Annual goals (to reach personal bonus payouts) were clear, concise, and achievable if you worked hard enough. Opportunities for development and growth were made available (tuition reimbursement for advanced degrees, conferences, etc), and it was simply a great place to work: co-workers were fantastic almost to a person across the global organization, and there were times set aside to socialize to reinforce the value of the workplace community.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, the publishing industry as a whole has been hit hard by a legacy business trying to adapt to a rapidly changing marketplace, and Wiley simply couldn't adapt quickly enough.

      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.
