Business Outlook
Pros
Work-life balance. Regular paycheck. Global. That's all that comes to mind at the moment.
Cons
It's kind of a mess. Very challenged core business.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Wiley values work-life balance very highly! Hopefully you've been seeing - and approving - of some of the recent activity around our core business. If so then maybe we can get that two-star review a little higher next time.
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.
