      Pros

      - Wiley is determined to evolve in order to be a competitive company for another 100 years. A strong balance sheet and continued Wiley family involvement mean it is likely to survive where smaller and less stable businesses will fail. - Wiley is experimenting and so a good place to share ideas and try new things. - Wiley attracts smart people, many with an academic bent, which matches well with our customers. In general, Wiley employees work hard and are almost all are interested in creating a sustainable future that meets market needs. - The people here, on the whole, are also nice to work with and kind. We do not generally suffer self-interested egos.

      Cons

      - Changes in executive leadership - coupled with frequent restructuring across the business as Wiley tries to define its future - leave many staff confused about priorities and struggling to stay motivated. - Many departments are arguably understaffed, which means core services suffer and employees have trouble taking the time to stay abreast of policy decisions, workflow changes, and strategic initiatives. This problem also contributes to the lack of resource needed to manage programs well and experiment soundly.

      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.

      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.
