Pros

-good pto -fair pay -location

Cons

HR has a mass exodus every year and worst engagement levels in the whole company. Old HR Chief left while churning through a ton of people and her ways are still in place leaving everyone else half way out. If you are interviewing, try and ask for engagement scores! Wiley used to be a big player but on the decline with leaders who are mainly motivated by developing the cv

Thanks for the review. I'm genuinely sorry to hear your having such a hard time with things. Burning out employees is not good for anyone - the company included - and if you feel like you're burning out I encourage you to speak with your manager. Wiley offers a number of benefits to help. Definitely check out what options are available to you!

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.
