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.

Pros

Working from home, kind people, good food in the cafeteria

Cons

Right now, Wiley is going through a restructure and a lot of things are up in the air. No one outside of those working in Books or Journals trusts that they will be able to keep their job. Many people are uncertain about their positions and the mood in the company is rather negative. It's also pretty hard to meet people while working here. Now that the exercise classes are gone, everyone will be back in their silos, never seeing anyone else.
