Pros

Good pay. Fun social activities held in offices from time to time. Work from home opportunities are available. Good benefits.

Cons

Constant layoffs and reorganizations. terrible management. Loads of people work hard with little appreciation. Issues are never addressed. Just a toxic environment. Do not come to work here. Too much chaos. Just a mess.

One star? Ouch. While changing and adapting to new situations is important for growth it can often be chaotic. Sorry that your time here seemed to be more of the latter. We value hard work and we're always looking to improve our employee experience so thanks for the feedback.

Pros

The recruiter was nice and professional

Cons

I left my good pay contractor job and took a pay cut to join Wiley. I was told even saw the presentation deck of the portfolio with my name on it that I was hired to deliver the portfolio. Two weeks after I joined, my manager asked me not to go to the office and saying she did not see the leadership in me. I was not what she was looking for ( after 7 people interviewed me)? And only two weeks after I started which I had not even started working at all? Then I was fired..... I still had the email when she hired me saying how great I was, how lucky she was. She just knew I was the right one. I still had the text she sent me saying "thank me for joining her team". And two weeks later I was fired for not showing the leadership?!!!! My manager was so insecure, incompetent
