      Pros

      Overall, Wiley in general has some good perks and benefits: * Half day off on Fridays during the summer * Good benefits * Some fun community engagement activities (e.g., volunteer days, networking chats, well being activities)

      Cons

      These don't necessarily apply to Wiley as a whole, but for a specific department and managers in that department (People who run the higher-ed online textbook part of the business). * Micromanagers * Favoritism * Bullying/Mobbing * Toxic work environment * Very hierarchical company * Not open to different perspectives, opinions, or ideas * Women like males on their teams; * Not clear with deadlines; Meeting a due date is seen as a bad thing; Only beating a deadline matters.

      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.
