      Pros

      Smart colleagues. Meaningful, impactful work. Good health benefits and generous vacation.

      Cons

      Frequent restructuring and layoffs every year. The dust never settles. The overall vibe is a legacy media company still struggling with a digital transformation that should have happened 15+ years ago under more forward-thinking leadership. Salaries are lower than average and internal promotions are rare. Wiley is a solid place to gain experience and work with smart, dedicated people for a few years. You'll learn a lot and build good skills. But if you're early in your career and want competitive pay or advancement opportunities, you'll need to look elsewhere after 2-3 years.

      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.
