Pros

Depends on who you for. Can be very rewarding.

Cons

Can be torturous if you work for the wrong person. Too much work and not enough support. Systems are abysmal compared to similar companies.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sometimes areas of the business can seem to be in a near-constant state of flux, managing an equally quickly changing industry. Although this can seem jarring, especially when your position or department is impacted by those changes, it can also be an opportunity for growth or understanding or expansion into new roles and skills. It's definitely not easy but at Wiley we do try to navigate those changes together.

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.
