      Pros

      My personal team and manager were good, but that's about it.

      Cons

      1. No strategy. Zero. I tried to ask leadership about direction and it was slow to come and then vague. When asking for business justification for changes, my internal clients would go over my head. 2. They tolerate bullying. One individual I know was bullied. HR confirmed that the individual had a history of doing it and was warned, but they are still there and still bullying. The person they bullied is gone. 3. Lots of recent layoffs. I think there have been 5 rounds in the last 1.5 years. 4. Low pay, not the best benefits. Usually if the pay is low, the benefits are better. Not the case here.

      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.

      Pros

      Great teammates and leadership with yearly merit raises.

      Cons

      Minimum room for advancement and you won't get promoted unless you know someone. Some positions are "already" allocated during interview.
