Pros

The company worked to treat its employees well. Pushing to make sure that goals were achieved and in return for the hard work when they were achieved employees would receive bonuses.

Cons

Upper management didn't always pair the right person to the position. The person in charge of IT did not have a background in IT. Expectations were often skewed because of the background gap, explaining that setting a quota for tickets to be closed was not the way to get the job done properly was misunderstood and questioned (why can't we expect each technician to close 10 - 12 tickets per day?.. not all tickets take 1 hour or less to close was not a good enough explanation )

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.
