Pros

Good Benefits Large Organization allows for internal mobility

Cons

- Organisational change so frequent it's near impossible to deliver results. Especially true for team's lower in the org chart who spend half the year waiting for direction to be cascaded only for it to change before the year is up. - Have repeatedly ignored colleague feedback regarding work models - positioned themselves in messaging of supportive and flexible only to push for mandatory office presence later down the line - No longer values driven, very high expectations and poor middle management leading to widespread colleague burnout.

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.
