Business Outlook
Pros
I worked for Wiley for 7 years and loved the culture and the people. I was given ample opportunity to prove myself and to move up the ladder. Compensation was competitive and benefits were also very good.
Cons
A large organization which at the time was going through a lot of change, and is still evolving. While Wiley handled it better than most, change is challenging in a large organization.

Five stars! You're right, change can be challenging for a large organization. I'm glad to hear that you've got a positive outlook and thanks for the review!
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.
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.
