Pros

Nothing. They will just constantly move people around and promise the world but not deliver.

Cons

The company just recently decided to sell half of their business units and are not doing well. Even people that were not in these particular departments are being laid off with no explanations other than "consolidation" when just a week before we were told that specific business units were "holding their own". Wiley supposedly prides itself on supporting their employees. In my multiple years of working there I was never supported or provided what I was supposed to have been and then when it comes to bonus and merit increase time, we were only given a small percentage of what was promised earlier in the year and what market guidelines are. No opportunities for advancement or positions to better align with someone's career goals or past experience. Pathetic excuse for executive leadership and I would not recommend this company to anyone job hunting.
