      Pros

      Benefits are good, and there are a lot of smart dedicated employees. The Wiley family is highly engaged and great role models.

      Cons

      Consultants are making too many critical decisions. The management is detached, and the direction unclear and confusing. Recent acquisitions could save the company, but aren't strategically aligned. Repeated rounds of layoffs are disheartening and look more like desperate money-saving moves than strategic and thoughtful decisions. Wiley has become an "old boys" network with executives making forays to men's clubs and stripper bars -- quite unusual in an industry dominated by women.

      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.
