Pros

Supportive, fun, competent coworkers. Excellent ERGs doing great work. OK remote work policies. Lots of opportunities to move around internally. International workforce, international teams, amazing opportunities to learn from others. I learned tons, I did interesting work, and I loved my team and my managers. I was well paid, and the benefits were good.

Cons

Layoffs, including my own. (Perhaps inevitable for a publicly traded company?) Bureaucracy. (Perhaps inevitable at a large company? This was the largest I've ever worked for.)

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.
