Pros

Wiley is seeing explosive growth in the digital media/eLearning spaces. Some key acquisitions (Inscape, CrossKnowledge, Deltak, etc.) are making an outsized impact for the positive. The workplace learning/talent solutions teams are the place to be. The benefits are great, the salaries are solid, and the atmosphere is one of shared energy and team collaboration. HR is promoting personal development plans for growth/advancement and we're hiring on a constant basis.

Cons

Some of the "old time" bureaucracy that comes along with the (frankly, old fashioned) print business. It's not a surprise the print groups are seeing layoffs.

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.
