      Pros

      Super flexible schedule. They recently started requiring 2 days/week in the office for those within 50 miles of an office, but even so it's very flexible. You can come in and leave whenever it works for you, whatever days and times. Good healthcare, at least for US employees. The management at least tries to be transparent about company happenings.

      Cons

      In other industries, entry level STEM PhDs are making $20-30k more. Editorial work is very independent. If you don't like being alone, it's not for you. Pretty disorganized, giant bureaucracy.

      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.
