Pros

Good work life balance. Laid back culture. Lots of vacation time. Decent benefits.

Cons

This company is a bureaucratic mess. Layers and layers of management. Horrible coordination between departments. Finance and billing systems are so bad, it is comical.

They DON'T Care!

Pros

Happy Fridays in the Summer Benefits used to be better Tuition reimbursement

Cons

-Actively do the opposite of what employees want and ask for -Half-hearted gaslighting of how RTO is going to "improve culture" when the culture has actively deteriorated since RTO. Motivation and Engagement are in the trash, and they don't care. -"How are you doing, fellow kids?" obsession with AI, as if that will make up for scatter-brained strategy and market ambivalence towards our products. -Shamelessly driving resignations to avoid paying severance packages -When employees complained and asked questions during the most recent Townhall the CEO literally said "well this is how we're going to run the place" -No growth, just be thankful to have a job in this economy -No salary increases but decided they could afford a costly rebrand of the Wiley logo and website instead. With garish neon colors and lasers, you know, to look futuristic. In Summary: they don't care and don't even try hard enough to fool you that they do.

Would not recommend for outside experts

Pros

Remote options; decent benefits; many friendly people; company has been around for 200+ years; doing best to scale down and focus on important revenue-generating business lines

Cons

Over the last two years I’ve noticed Wiley hire a lot of technical experts from the outside who have come in and created/fixed a ton of issues for this antiquated company …. Only to then be laid off without any real reason other than budget cuts, and then those seasoned veterans / experts get replaced by “Wiley lifers” who are not qualified to be in the new role they get promoted into. It’s evident there is a lot of the good-ol-boy-club syndrome going on behind the scenes. The company values time with Wiley over performance and results. Would not recommend to anyone who is a real expert in their field that likes to innovate from the outside. It’s not a big enough or prestigious enough company to waste your time with.
