Company in trouble- Mass Layoffs for 13 months and counting

Talent team

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Work from home. Lot's of advancement opportunities if you make it long enough. The people that work there are mostly intelligent and kind.

Cons

Business outlook is bleak. Tail wagging the dog all over the map. So many different areas of the business and they each have their own vision, methods, and ideology. Constant re-orgs. Constant change that doesn't ever seem to result in improvements of financials or business outlook. They now have an interim CEO- most likely nepotism at play as per usual with Wiley. If they offer you a bonus as part of your comp- negotiate for less bonus and more pay bc you will never see that bonus- maybe a tiny fraction of it. So, if you can live with your base salary- then go ahead and accept at your own risk. They've hired people and let them go a month later because of a reorg.

Pros

Still holding onto the vestiges of its once notoriously friendly and humane working culture

Cons

Over a decade of financial struggles have left the workforce in shambles. Massive reorganizations and layoffs have been the pattern here at least once a year, sometimes more frequently. The company has struggled with organic growth for years, and is left doing little more than cost cutting and liquidating their worst performing assets. The future of the company looks grim.
