      Great benefits and compensation package, no career growth - Production Editor Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      Great if you need steady employment (as steady as being in publishing is these days) and do not wish to or need to grow your career in any way. It's the only publishing company I've heard of that gives a yearly bonus to everyone in a department, depending on they collectively did. Hours are great, benefits are fine, and PTO is stellar.

      Cons

      Talks a big talk about "innovation" but generally fails to put words into action. No career growth unless people above you leave, only opportunity for growth is management, which are roles they will not create more of. Nobody under the age of 50 should work there because your skills will likely atrophy from lack of use.

      Thanks for the review and the honest feedback. Sorry to hear that you think there isn't a lot of opportunity for career growth! We've been working on a new program to highlight and communicate career opportunities within Wiley that should launch soon - hopefully that program and similar efforts will help shine a spotlight on some of the things you mention.

      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.
