Pros

Great people. Awesome benefits (especially if you're in a grade 10 and above level). Pleasant atmosphere and great products. Focus is on digital but company is based on being in the publishing industry for over 200 years. 7th generation family owned...not a lot of companies can say that today! Work Life balance of a 35 hour full time work week is great.

Cons

Most in indy office report to managers at corporate level in Hoboken. Day-to-Day interactions are not seen by those managers which takes away from building camaraderie and isolates teams more.

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.
