Flexible workplace with amazing benefits including paid parental leave. Execs are reachable and you can find yourself having a video chat conversation with an EVP, for example. Most of my colleagues are either entering their start of the career or have been with Wiley for decades. I’ve never seen so many people stay with one company for the entirety of their career, which speaks a lot to the culture and great pay.
Cons
Work-life balance is sometimes a challenge, as emails are coming in at all hours. The company supports *actual* down time and disconnecting, though hard to do as a newbie.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and we are thrilled that you highly recommend our company to your friends and family. We hope that you continue to grow and develop incredible leadership skills at our company to help teach newer colleagues. We do work in various time zones, which makes it difficult to stop after-hours emails, and the feeling to jump in right away. However, we strongly encourage all employees to only respond to emails during their chosen work hours to ensure a healthy work-life balance, even when you are a newbie!
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.
