Pros

Good benefits, but certainly not as good as they were 10 years ago. Generous PTO if you qualify for it.

Cons

Company restructuring has been ongoing for four years and, unfortunately, the company has been torn apart by it. Employee morale is at an all time low. Most current employees cannot even remember what the core values used to be or exactly when they were abandoned by high level management. Cost cutting prevails. Lay-offs continue at an in-ending pace. Knowledgeable and dedicated employees at all levels are long gone. Morale is at an all time low and distrust, fear, and micro-management prevails. The publishing industry has changed greatly, but Wiley clearly had no concept of how to adjust to the new marketplace.

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.
