      Constant Change Leads to Constant Backpedaling - Anonymous employee Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      There are pockets of people who work hard. The company has been around for a long time so it has a brand recognition within the academic world.

      Cons

      There are only a few pockets of good workers here. Most people are just clocking in for a paycheck. HR has no idea what they are doing. That's true of many HR departments, but especially true about this one. There is constant turnover and change throughout the company--you never know if your job is safe, even if you work hard and do everything you're expected to do. Leadership is struggling to make the transition from print to digital, and the perpetual department restructuring does nothing to foster morale.

      Pros

      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

      Pay and hybrid office work

      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.
