Pros

Good work life balance (depending on your manager) Nice amount of PTO for all levels. The Hoboken office is going through a transformation to make it much more open which will encourage more collaboration and communication.

Cons

Constant change and turnover. Not a clear career path and very little room for growth. The environment as it stands now is dull and colleagues reflect that. Most people are overworked and stressed and just can't wait to leave at the end of the day. Processes make doing business slow. Frustrated customers, frustrated employees. I've seen interns turn from bright-eyed and bushy tailed to a walking zombie within days if not weeks. Salaries could be higher for a billion dollar company. There are a select number of employees that keep getting promoted (it's all about who you know and who likes you around here) while others work hard and get very little reward or recognition. No one is happy for some reason or another and if they aren't looking for jobs because they are being laid off, then they are looking because they want to get the heck out of here and on to more exciting opportunities.

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.
