Pros

-Time off/Benefits -Does not require you to work your best everyday. -Work/Life balance

Cons

-Compensation is low. Wiley claims to pay based on industry averages however you can easily go to other publishing houses and make more more. -Lives in the glory of mid 2000's. Wiley was once "the place to be" so much that is was their motto. However in recent years the company culture has taken a turn for the worse. The company seems to be in a period of permanent restructuring for the last 4 years. -The org structure at Wiley is odd to say the least. The 3 business units do not communicate or work in collaboration even though they would greatly benefit from it. - Company does not reward hard work, only well liked.

Pros

Benefits are good, and there are a lot of smart dedicated employees. The Wiley family is highly engaged and great role models.

Cons

Consultants are making too many critical decisions. The management is detached, and the direction unclear and confusing. Recent acquisitions could save the company, but aren't strategically aligned. Repeated rounds of layoffs are disheartening and look more like desperate money-saving moves than strategic and thoughtful decisions. Wiley has become an "old boys" network with executives making forays to men's clubs and stripper bars -- quite unusual in an industry dominated by women.
