Pros

- smart professional people - support and resources to help you achieve your objectives - generous annual bonuses - executive leadership that believes in innovation - flex time and individual accountability (no grief or conflict for picking up a sick kid or other real-life challenges that pop up during business hours) as long as you get your work done. When and where is self-directed. You can log back on after the kids are asleep. - great corporate communications, a great toolset for international collaboration - frequent events that are fun and morale-boosting - clean, comfortable and well-kept offices (headquarters) could not ask for a better location - diversity in ethnicity and culture - positive meaningful mission - quality academic products you can be proud of

Cons

- Compensation not as competitive as tech, service and banking industries, this is not the place to work if money is your number one goal - Challenged industry defending against disruption and change - Coffee machines take way too long to brew a single cup - See number #1, outside of travel and books, perks can be stingy due to austerity measures, this was not always the case

A five star review! And your list of "pros" is amazing! Thank you! Also we agree about the coffee machines. But there's always the Starbucks beside the cafeteria in Hoboken!

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

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.
