Pros

Wiley is a great place to work if you're looking for a temporary spot to gain work experience, but you'll quickly realize this is not the place to build a career. Its also a great place to collect a pay check while you plan your next move whether it be going into business for yourself etc. (multiple employees at Wiley work a second job).

Cons

Company has been feeding its employees the same story of salaries being competitive compared to other Publishers, but countless employees have gone to other publishers with salaries 10-20k more than what Wiley was paying them. Professional development at Wiley is nonexistent - HR feels its not responsible for aiding in developing talent (feel words out of an HR Managers mouth during an exit interview). The company has a formal Performance Review process, but there are no consequences if your manager decides to just skip your 6 month review. I once submitted my objectives for the year and my manager asked me "what is this?" Even if you were to get a glowing review from your manager - don't bother asking for an increase in pay or job title. You can gain small pay increases by jumping across divisions, but in the long run it won't lead to anything.
