Pros

Nothing at all. Maybe pay

Cons

Terrible Managment. I was basically let go after working there for 2 weeks when I was on contract for at least 3 months... they let me go because they didn’t have computers yet they kept a man who started the same day as me ! He got his computer before I did. This place is a scam. All the application specialist are fake as hell. Terrible experience here. Just terrible.

Once a company you could be proud to work at. Sadly, with the change of upper management came a change of culture.

Pros

Work alongside talented coworkers. Excellent benefits and liberal time off is provided. Wiley continues to produce excellent products across a wide spectrum.

Cons

Lost the culture and soul that once made it great. Now the culture is one of looking over one's shoulder and wondering if the next arbitrary shoe to drop will be on you.

Thanks for the review. We agree that workplace culture is a vital part of a company's success. Sorry to hear that you feel we've lost it! However, we do take this sort of feedback seriously and your "advice to management" would not be lost!
