Pros

Flexible working is a plus. But I would warn non-remote colleagues that the Oxford office is an odd space.

Cons

The company restructured two years ago and is still hurting from this restructure. Those who work with editors, reviewers, and authors have a worse time of it now than two years ago. The company does not have enough staff for people to be able to do their jobs at a level that is satisfying to themselves and customers, and at this moment in time, it all feels a bit hopeless. It's a shame that decision-makers at the company let it get to this.

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.
