Corporate But Not Really

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

Work-life balance PTO Friendly coworkers Lax dress code Potential to travel Some impressive/high profile authors/books The CEO is accessible and makes an effort at transparency

Cons

Not the most fulfilling work - can feel very corporate and blah Workload (this varies but is occasionally mind-numbingly high) Disorganized Disconnect between management and employees Unclear workflows and processes Outsourcing key roles Essentially, Wiley is a place where I feel I'm surrounded by like-minded people who are also a bit stifled by the corporate/bureaucratic vibe and a bit overwhelmed by the lack of direction and workload. People have been quitting lately and management has made no effort to hire anyone. Workload has been uneven and occasionally stress-inducing. People are forced to wear too many hats. Good benefits, average to good culture, busy but rarely need to put in more than 40-42 hours a week... Wiley is a decent place but a bit too disorganized and directionless for me to stay for the long haul.

If you want your hard work rewarded - STAY AWAY. RUN & KEEP RUNNING

Pros

Commute and....nope tha'ts about it

Cons

incompetence is rewarded, blatant favoritism, no one is held accountable for their OWN mistakes, blame game, supervisors or incapabale of doing anything themselves, you have supervisors who do not know how to use simple programs like EXCEL! Supervisor doesn't know how to copy and paste! Supervisor doesn't know simple MATH! Supervisor doesn't know much about anything. That seems to be the norm with supervisors there. You become one if you have been there forever and a day. But the newbies who know their stuff will never make it to that level because of contant lay offs and the supervisors know a threat when they see it. Stay away
