Pros

Lovely people to work with Very intelligent staff, innovative and collaborative Very flexible working Active innovation scheme for all employees to collaborate and contribute ideas to the company roadmap Excellent Sports/Social opportunities Good Pension, Childcare, Deals with local businesses etc. Annual bonus and salary review scheme Nice office in Oxford Great if you're passionate about publishing

Cons

Continued outsourcing of technology results in redundancy of knowledge base for existing products Too quick to restructure to resolve problems without giving the previous restructure time to work Siloed mentality in some areas makes collaborative working difficult Lack of co-located teams can make you feel isolated (in IT roles especially) Trying to be a "Tech" company but not committing to it. Little career progression opportunites in IT

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.
