Pros

Flexible schedule, good PTO, great people

Cons

Management has been all over the place for the past 5 years. A department will get up and running in a new direction, then everyone will be laid off and the team has to re-invent the wheel again. A new CEO just started so we will see how this new management goes.

Hey, thanks for the review! Sorry to heat that you feel like we're directionless. We're always interested in constructive feedback. Have you considered joining one of the internal community groups - like Generation Wiley, the Community Builders, or Women Leading Wiley (for example)? That might be a good forum for helping to increase morale and connectivity. And we're also excited about the new CEO!

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.
