      Pros

      Friendly colleagues, free soda, challenging work, enthusiastic team

      Cons

      Wiley bought a smaller company I worked at (Deltak) and said they would change nothing, but immediately started cutting perks. Seems like Wiley just wanted a money-making machine to make up for some bad decisions and the decline of the publishing industry, but they were probably too late to the online higher ed party. There was a lot of turnover and anxiety about the future.

      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.
