Pros

Good content and customers, lots of good people.

Cons

So much consolidation going on, people are being put in charge of businesses they have no idea how to run or how they work. The results are disastrous.

Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment, so I'm disappointed to hear of your experiences. Unfortunately, transitions during such unprecedented times can make things difficult, we are grateful to our employees who can weather the storm as we adjust with the change.

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.
