Pros

The benefits and work-life balance are great, and I think people really buy into the company values and mission. Managing the transition from print to digital hasn't been easy, and change is slow, but the last year or two things seem to be improving.

Cons

When you aren't in a role with a clearly defined career path, your opportunities for advancement will be limited. Some divisions make advancement harder than others. And when you do get a promotion, there is a cap on the % increase you can receive--it's a shame that there's basically a penalty for wanting to stay and move up within the company.

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.
