Working at Vikas Gupta led Wiley India was so much fun. The culture there is extremely open and vibrant. Professionally it is obviously really healthy to be amidst so many talented people who actually bring out the competitive spirit in you and you wish to deliver nothing but the best from your end as well.
Svantaggi
The location is a little too far from my place so travelling was a big problem for me.
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.
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.
