Pros

Overall it's a company that offers a supportive environment, offers flexibility for work/home life, fair benefits packages, and opportunities to develop and grow within the company. It's also an extremely stable company that's been around over 200 years.

Cons

It's a large company, and therefore has some of the bureaucratic headaches that go along with a large organization... sometimes changes that would benefit the company and should not be difficult to implement take forever to move forward (or don't get going at all).

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.
