Pros

I worked in a support function where I had some long tenured colleagues in the team.These colleagues took on board my new ideas and I always felt supported. Outside of my team many in the business were very supportive of ideas that I brought on board. It is one of the most supportive environments that I have worked in. I was based in one of their Australian offices so being distant from the Hoboken head office does mean that a lot of the changes that happen globally fortunately do not impact us too much. I truly believe that the business does it's best to support colleagues. The business does its best to provide adequate training, social activities and room for professional growth.

Cons

As a globally listed company a lot of things had to make it's way up the chain for approval which can take a while to come to fruition. As many colleagues were long tenured they weren't always open to change. Everyone understands that we need to adapt our way of doing business but change isn't always comfortable. The 3 revenue streams do work in silos as a business and this does mean socially there are silios. Despite being a small office often colleagues across the business lines do not really speak to each other.

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

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.
