Pros

The non-executive people who work here are great.

Cons

The executives have difficulty communicating and affecting change down the chain of command. Like many corporations, change happens slowly. In a transforming business, slow change could doom the company. The morale is horrible. There are efforts to move into emerging markets, but it's like turning a huge ship around in high seas.

Too much focus on a nonexistent culture

Pros

Flexibility, not really any emergencies in the industry, Actual coworkers are friendly across different teams. Pockets of great teamwork can show flashes of inspiration and growth.

Cons

Three years of twice-annual layoffs and restructuring across multiple divisions has led to serious stagnation within many teams, while C-level teams discuss growth and culture. Licensing deals are not growth. New products or tools are discussed with no mention of GTM. Hybrid and remote employees are pressured to RTO to grow Wiley's culture. I'm not opposed to RTO or hybrid but Wiley has invested a significant amount of money in creating attendance dashboards, monitoring tools, meanwhile ignoring salary adjustments, career growth, and anything that would actually make people want to return to an office location. An occasional free-food event is not company culture.
