      Pros

      35 hour work week Ample paid time off Good benefits package Decent pay for the work expected

      Cons

      Upper management is secretive and Middle management is manipulative and constantly in spin mode. They are in a never-ending phase of downsizing. It's been over 2 years and they're still laying off entire departments. Watching colleagues walk out if HR meetings in tears was a common sight.

      "The Place to Leave."

      Pros

      The colleagues. Great benefits. Plenty of time off.

      Cons

      Management routinely ignored the advice and counsel of the staff. Upper management created far too many middle management positions. Managers across the business were far too busy looking out for themselves. Managers that abused their power were never reprimanded. HR gave lip-service to staff complaints about treatment by managers. Executive staff had no idea how to run a non-fiction publishing house in 2015. Far too many staff left because of the way they were treated. Wiley turned from "The Place to Be" into "The Place to Leave."

      Pros

      Not that long ago, Wiley was an outstanding company to work for. It used to be transparent, employee-focused, and guided by a clear and compelling mission. With luck and a change in attitude and engagement by the leadership, it will be that once again.

      Cons

      The company is in major turmoil. Despite two years of analysis by consulting firms and a much-vaunted plan to remake the company for the new era in publishing, there seems to be no clear vision. After dismantling teams and processes and imposing untested new procedures in many areas at once, the leadership now seems to have abandoned those employees who remain to somehow make things work.
