Wiley reviews

1) Open office Environment that is noisy and difficult to conduct conversations/lack of privacy. 2) Toxic IT Senior Management - at Wiley the CTO and CIO roles are reversed and current CTO is an intolerant, know-it-all bully whose management style is based on fear, denigration and personal attacks. 3) IT Vendor Management constantly interferes and sabotages the efforts of the Technology Sourcing team in its relations with vendors, prior to, during and after negotiations. 4) Very politically correct and leftist in ts HR policies. Those who speak up in ways that violates the company's corporate GROUP-THINK policies and philosophies are slammed with disciplinary write-ups and threats of termination. It's educational publishing and much like the higher education institutions it sells into, the corporate mindset is hostile to people of a conservative persuasion. Millennials and their half-baked ideas are embraced; older, more experienced staff who are conservative are chastised, criticized, labeled, maligned. 5) Lack of flexibility in remote work arrangements, especially in Technology Sourcing. Extremely poor leadership by senior Procurement Management - they do not defend their people or "have their backs." If anything, senior management is all too willing to throw their people to the wolves. 6) Too many systems that don't work well. The ARIBA Sourcing & Procurement system is too cumbersome. As a result, too many people attempt work-arounds which further complicates issues with vendors to include prompt payments, PO invoicing, receipt of good & services.
