Pros

Working from home, kind people, good food in the cafeteria

Cons

Right now, Wiley is going through a restructure and a lot of things are up in the air. No one outside of those working in Books or Journals trusts that they will be able to keep their job. Many people are uncertain about their positions and the mood in the company is rather negative. It's also pretty hard to meet people while working here. Now that the exercise classes are gone, everyone will be back in their silos, never seeing anyone else.

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.
