      Pros

      Colleagues are the lifeblood of this company. PTO is good. Some degree of work/life however the workload is significant for the ‘doers’.

      Cons

      The higher ups are disconnected from the colleagues. Too many reorganizations, layoffs, and outsourcing. Leadership from the HR area is lacking. Every year it is a scramble for evaluations but nothing much else from the group for the rest of the year. Bad behaviors are tolerated and overlooked. Career paths are laid out by management. You can stay in a role for years without advancement because managers - that is not a career.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a thorough review. I'm sorry you feel it's only a two star place! However, we couldn't agree more that the people that work at Wiley are the lifeblood of the company. It's definitely true that establishing two-way dialogues with people at all levels is an important part of developing and sustaining a positive culture. Not to mention a great way to get to know and understand the people you work with! Hopefully some of the new communication tools - like Yammer - can help encourage a greater level of connection between people from all across Wiley.

      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.
