Pros

Great people all across the organisation, decent pay and reward, nice office locations, interesting work.

Cons

The core Research leadership team has been in place for many years, lacks any flair and has now lost the support / respect of the organisation they 'lead', they restructure often but just keep switching deckchairs when they fancy a new role. Its happened so often now its the norm. Most people are actively looking for a new role

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

Pay and hybrid office work

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.
