Pros

Wiley has great benefits. The staff is intelligent and collaborative. Mid-level managers typically support staff with on-the-job training and and constructive criticism.

Cons

Wiley laid off a considerable number of people within the past year while executing a change in their business strategy. The layoffs negatively impacted the company culture resulting in considerable morale issues. Throughout the process staff received little communication about the skills Wiley needed in order to execute their new business strategy. Although senior management suggested that staff training would be part of the transformation none was forthcoming and instead jobs were moved to India.

Pros

Decent benefits and bonus are given every year.

Cons

Management does to honor the company slogan of "Wiley the place to be" and "At Wiley people comes first, business second". Low morale. Higher management doesn't really appreciate the hard work of colleagues and often take the credit for.

Pros

Good benefits (although the pension was frozen) and an on-site cafeteria which is great since there isn't much going on in Hoboken.

Cons

Nominal career growth, old-fashioned approaches, Flintstones-era technology, boys club, "Gorilla Glass" ceiling that's nearly impossible to penetrate. False sense of security for the old-timers. Many thought they would retire from Wiley but didn't. A major reorg that dragged on forever and likely still isn't finished.
