      Pros

      Good work life balance. Most people leave at 5:00 or even earlier. Salary and benefits are decent. Hoboken office is in a good location and nice to work in. There are some people working here who really care about Wiley and making it better.

      Cons

      Lack of drive and motivation throughout the company. Very slow paced. After working for a competitor Wiley is behind and struggling to be relevant. Technology and business process is extremely out of date. It takes too long to get simple things accomplished and there is a lack of urgency or direction. Overall it just feels insignificant working here. It’s not a place to grow your career or challenge yourself. If you’re someone who likes to accomplish things this isn’t the place for you.

      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.
