Pros

Gives a unique opportunity to to get in tech as a developer (or similar role), without an actual degree. Training is paid.

Cons

At the beginning there were loads of waiting and uncertainty, which made me doubt if this is gonna work out or not. Salaries are not so competitive compared to industry averages.

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.
