Pros

Nice people. Working remotely is nice.

Cons

Wiley used to be a great place to work, but has been rapidly going downhill for about 5 years plus, coinciding with the ousting of the most recent CEO. Next came mass layoffs of 200+ employees. In short, no one's job is safe, and the company is failing as evidenced by their tanking stock and continuous failing to reach their financial goals. On top of that, the company is being investigated for securities fraud, which no doubt plays a factor in their falling stock. Wiley continues to send American jobs overseas to India and the Philippines, hence the constant mass layoffs. As a result, Wiley is selling floors of their Hoboken office, and it's probably only a matter of time until that office shutters its doors. If you're into being woke, this is the company for you. Wiley is more concerned with saying they're inclusive than the well-being of their employees who are stagnant and have not voice. Wiley is especially NOT inclusive at the Executive Leadership Team level. "Racist" is a strong word, but it is open secret at Wiley that such a mindset exists among upper management. In addition, it is well known that Wiley exploits it's overseas vendors (poor working conditions, long hours, low pay, etc), while trying to sweep their transgressions under the rug. Wiley sweet talks its employees and assures them that the company is flourishing, but that's simply not true. A quick google search will show you how the company is in disarray. Unfortunately, Wiley is now the bottom of the barrel when it comes to scientific/educational publishing. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Pros

Remote work is acceptable. Colleagues are supportive.

Cons

If you don't like Wiley today, wait a week, it might change. You might also lose your job. Management is completely out of touch. They are cutting costs and getting rid of people.

Pros

Good amount of PTO. Very dedicated, friendly and intelligent employees.

Cons

Upper management is massively out out touch with their employees. They practice an autocratic-like management style despite their efforts to act like an open-minded, forward-thinking, diverse, and compassionate company that they desperately want to be. Employees are treated like numbers and have no voice. Sadly, which was once a great company to work for (5-10 years ago), with a high level of optimism and morale is now in dire straights as jobs are being outsourced overseas and employee perks & benefits have been scaled back (or eliminated all together).
