Vantaggi

The company seems to be making an attempt to respond to the marketplace and its competitors, even if they are attempting economies of scale that may not pan out.

Svantaggi

There is a large break with the past. Recent layoffs have been kind of like Logan's Run, in that many longstanding employees are being cut instead of retrained. This has reduced institutional memory and created a young workforce that is going to be having a baby boom in 2025 as they all reach their mid-thirties. They are heavily relying on outsourcing almost all activities now, including sending copy editing to India. The cost savings is significant, but the product suffers.

Vantaggi

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.

Pay and hybrid office work

Vantaggi

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Svantaggi

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.
