Pros

Wiley has a great culture and work-life balance. The people at Wiley are very friendly, supportive, and fun colleagues. I made many long-term friends while working there. In general, people were smart, dedicated, but not too serious. The work environment was collaborative and I never worked long hours. There were also considerable career opportunities. I was encouraged to explore other internal roles and was promoted twice within four years. Also, Wiley had great vacation time!

Cons

The downsides to working at Wiley were fairly straightforward and expected for the publishing industry: the salaries were low and the company wasn't doing very well. There were a lot of reorganizations when I worked there and several rounds of layoffs. I did worry about my job security a few times. Also, the parental leave was very low.
