Minpunten

The company’s stability has fallen off a cliff compared to previous years. Periodic layoffs have become the norm, leaving employees constantly wondering if they’ll be next. Job security is non-existent, and the atmosphere is fueled by fear rather than growth. This year, not a single employee received a salary increment—not even during the usual review cycle—because of the so-called “financial downturn.” Yet somehow, certain individuals still manage to receive preferential treatment. Management is a mess. While a tiny fraction of leaders are decent, the majority are unprofessional, rude, and shamelessly play favorites. Performance evaluations are a joke—often completely disconnected from actual work delivered—leaving top performers ignored while others coast through on connections. In my own case, my manager embodies everything wrong here: zero fairness, zero accountability, and zero leadership. One glaring example of favoritism? A girl whose main contributions seem to be making TikTok videos and cooking gets special treatment simply because her husband is a favorite of her boss. This kind of blatant nepotism crushes morale and sends the clear message that merit means nothing here.

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.

Pluspunten

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Minpunten

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.
