      Pros

      Still some quality people there who truly care about changing and succeeding in new business environment. Company in the business of doing good for people in research and education, and admirable way to spend a career. Good PTO and flexible time and location policies.

      Cons

      This used to be a company that played larger than it was because of a great culture and folks living that culture together to win. That culture has been destroyed in the last 4-5 years and Wiley now plays smaller than it is and doesn’t win enough to continue long term unless there’s radical change in the right direction. Too many mgt changes and no real direction other than platitudes from too many sr leaders who don’t really know businesses. Very sad what has happened but great Wiley family and poor sr leader choices have to bear the responsibility. They’ve listened to a lot of the wrong people.

      Thanks for the review. It's true that times of change and tough market conditions are challenging to any business. We've recently put a great deal of effort toward communicating our long-term strategy throughout the company. Hopefully that will help address some of the concerns you have about the company's direction. In the meantime, don't hesitate to keep making your opinion and concerns known. It's helpful!

      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.
