Pros

Entrepreneurial environment, lots of smart and truly nice people, very autonomous work environment for the most part, lots of transformation work so it's great if you want autonomy and have an opportunity to work on a lot of different projects. The place often feels like a start up although it's an old company - this is good if you want to learn and try new things, but not good if you don't like uncertainty.

Cons

A lot of chnages everywhere, sometimes moving too fast

Five stars! Thanks so much for taking the time to write a very thorough review. It's true, we try to create an environment where people have autonomy and can learn new things so thank you as well for calling that out. Times of change can be very disruptive and uncertain but we're trying our best to navigate it together so that we can all benefit. Speaking of millennial and younger workers, have you checked out the speaking series and resources produced by the "Generation Wiley" community group? It's great!

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.
