Pros

The work-life balance is excellent, with flexible hours and remote options. My colleagues are intelligent, friendly, and genuinely care about the mission. Benefits like PTO and health insurance are solid. It is a stable, low-stress environment perfect for those who prioritize personal time over a fast-paced "hustle" culture.

Cons

Bureaucracy and constant restructuring make decision-making painfully slow.

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.
