We value the people that work at Wiley and do our best to create a pleasant environment so thanks for noticing! We are continuously looking for ways to improve our processes so that we can enable all of the people that work at Wiley to contribute in meaningful ways (and "get out of our own way" in the process). Thanks for the honest feedback!

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.
