Pros

- very flexible in terms of time management mostly because of a great project manager (get to go for an hour and a half to gym) and make up the time - my team are excellent to work with - learnt a lot during my 1st year working - recreation day out every year

Cons

- no future for any london based development for some teams as they bought a smaller tech company in the US to do that - management very slow to changing technology to the latest - no actual practical benefits from the company

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.
