Pros

Good benefit and bonus package. Good location. Some smart and good people there who are getting no professional support.

Cons

Stagnant. They have been downsizing for about 5 years now. If anyone has a vision for what the company should be, no one is sharing. Their internal and product technology would have been laughable if it wasn't so sad. Incredibly top-heavy. Execs lie - a lot. Lot of frauds working there and collecting a check for doing very little.

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.
