Pros

I was allowed to change my hours slightly to suit my personal needs. Some really great colleagues, who have become friends outside of work too.

Cons

Worked way above my level for two years, being told I'm doing all the right things and it never leading to anything... applied for a job internally and jumped two levels by moving. Lots of egos which are being rewarded with promotions, leaving those who quietly do a good job behind. "Manager's discretion" for EVERYTHING is great if you've got a good manager, but not for those who don't. Lots of inconsistencies in management and fairness.

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.
