Pros

Decent benefits and remote work flexibility.

Cons

The recent reorg has been so disorganized that people are quitting in droves after being mapped to roles they don't want or being stuck between 2 jobs because the transition hasnt happened smoothly at all. This has left the people who are staying behind so overwhelmed and the company refuses to hire more staff to alleviate the burden or compensate people for taking on additional work. Upper management and leadership keep recommending "chnage management" courses to cope but all this does is frustrate people more. This isn't a "not accepting change" issue. It's a "lack of support and acknowledging that we're struggling and need help" issue.

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.
