Pros

Wiley offers a good work-life balance; the remuneration is fair - middle of the road for publishing; the benefits are ok. What makes Wiley a nice place to work are the people - friendly colleagues and a nice environment.

Cons

You won't get rich at Wiley or in publishing for that matter. If you were around a few years ago, you will know the benefits have taken a turn for the worse, though ask around and you will hear that from a lot of people working in corporations. Similarly, the shift to performance-related pay has been a pain point for some though again this is happening in a lot of companies.

We hear it time and again - the people at Wiley are one of it's greatest strengths. And we couldn't agree more. Thanks for the review!

Pros

- smart professional people - support and resources to help you achieve your objectives - generous annual bonuses - executive leadership that believes in innovation - flex time and individual accountability (no grief or conflict for picking up a sick kid or other real-life challenges that pop up during business hours) as long as you get your work done. When and where is self-directed. You can log back on after the kids are asleep. - great corporate communications, a great toolset for international collaboration - frequent events that are fun and morale-boosting - clean, comfortable and well-kept offices (headquarters) could not ask for a better location - diversity in ethnicity and culture - positive meaningful mission - quality academic products you can be proud of

Cons

- Compensation not as competitive as tech, service and banking industries, this is not the place to work if money is your number one goal - Challenged industry defending against disruption and change - Coffee machines take way too long to brew a single cup - See number #1, outside of travel and books, perks can be stingy due to austerity measures, this was not always the case

A five star review! And your list of "pros" is amazing! Thank you! Also we agree about the coffee machines. But there's always the Starbucks beside the cafeteria in Hoboken!
