Pros

The people I've worked with are smart, empathic, and very passionate in making Wiley a stronger company. The paid time off is generous.

Cons

Constant restructuring, constant lay-offs, and constant changing objectives has made it difficult to focus on day to day work. Salaries are lower than the average market, which was fine when there was a pension, but without a pension, its just low and stays low.

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.
