Pros

This was an excellent place to work before they were bought out by Wiley.

Cons

Terrible middle management with no regard for the daily struggles those they “led” faced and made little or no attempt to solve problems. Churn and burn culture, don’t care if you are stressed out. You will be easily replaced. Very little sense of community. Coworkers will try to throw you under the bus to get ahead.

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.
