Pros

Amazing people. With a 200+ year history of achievement, Wiley has attracted many of the brightest people in the field. The Research business is growing steadily, and is an exciting place to be.

Cons

The book business is in steep decline, and the parts of Wiley that are dependent on that market are feeling the pinch. Layoffs are frequent in that part of the business, and upward mobility is a function of how many executives have been let go in the last round.

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.
