Pros

John Wiley & Sons offers a great work / life balance, hours are flexible based on your own schedule however generally 9-5, dress code is casual and the atmosphere is very friendly and collegial. Teamwork is outstanding and management is trying to create an environment where people help each other with only very personal and political animosities.

Cons

John Wiley & Sons was a rather conservative working environment and as somewhat common in the Publishing industry things tend to move somewhat slowly. For people seeking a very fast paced environment that presents ongoing challenges and day to day changes Wiley might not be the best place to start looking.

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.
