      Good products, but difficult working environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The products are good. The people are great. Flexitime. Good holidays. You feel connected to the community you are working with and with the content.

      Cons

      Staff morale is extremely low. There is too much work to do and not enough time. Wiley's publish more for less money policy is applying huge pressure on editors because new products are launched without hiring new staff. There seems to be little opportunity for career progression.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      35 hour work week, a casual office environment, reasonable workload, low-stress office, ample vacation and holidays, and good work/life balance (the company encouraged employees to develop and foster outside interests).

      Cons

      Virtually no room for promotion or growth, departments are siloed, management resists change, creativity is not encouraged (I've worked for four publishing companies and this was the most corporate and least innovative/creative of all of them). Then Wiley went through a massive restructuring where many jobs were outsourced, eliminated, and offshored. The restructuring took over 2 years and slowly more and more people were let go. It felt like a slow death and killed office morale, and upper management seems disinterested in revitalizing it.

      Overall a good company to work for

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, especially for new mothers, they seem to care.

      Cons

      Career progression can be difficult, 5-10 + years to move up, but they do provide opportunities for some development. As a result, the turnover of staff was high in the editing department (every 2 years).
