Pros

I'm 7 weeks in and already love a lot about Wiley: 1) The company knows their North Star, their Sinek "WHY" and it's simple: "Building a better future through education, skill development, and research" and the bonus is that they've been doing this for 211 friggin years!! 2) The people are SO nice, super smart, and eager, eager, eager to improve processes and structure. 3) From a marketing perspective, Wiley is sitting on a goldmine of content--We can tell great stories, impactful, compelling stories for decades. 4) Hoboken HQ right on the Hudson, 100 yards from the train, ferry and bus terminal is in a stunning building with an incredible view of NYC and the river traffic. Love to visit that place.

Cons

Only one so far and it's mixed. Wiley is embracing remote working arrangements, more and more. It will take some time for their onboarding process to catch up, but that's to be expected.

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.
