      Pros

      Good benefits and good life/work balance. Flexibility for families.

      Cons

      Too much disorganization in restructuring departments. There were many layoffs and there are more to come. They are a large company and slow to make changes.

      Doesn't respect, keep, or foster talent.

      Pros

      During most of my time at Wiley, although the beurocracy could be a bit irritating, the people were great and the company did provide decent benefits and salaries.

      Cons

      The majority of the restructuring has been a blood bath with little concern or care about the impact on the current workforce. The company has lost the trust of most of its long-standing employees (those that are left anyway).

      Routine work, stifling for people with potential and ambition

      Pros

      Quite a peaceful environment (read: boring). No need to work long hours -- in fact managers encourage you to leave work on time and go have a life, so for homebodies and mothers, this would be an ideal place for you to work. The people in office are generally okay. The other people you work with, such as the folks in the editorial offices around the world and the authors, were probably the nicest part: it's interesting to get to know them and correspond with them, and learn about their culture through working together. The company publishes a very wide range of titles (journals and books) and you can access most of it online quite freely as an employee, so if you like reading and educating yourself on subjects such as economics, history, health sciences, finance, this will be quite a perk for you. Salary-wise: it has been said that the company is above average within the industry locally.

      Cons

      One of the things that I disliked the most was that we were actively discouraged from putting in much effort into our work or going the extra mile to help someone we're working with. Colleagues and management were not the most motivated bunch, and the work environment was a slow (lazy) one. There was no room for creativity and there was little room to move across departments to broaden our learning and professional experience, either due to the inflexibility of management overall, or as rumour has it, that wanting to leave the department at all would be taken as a personal insult to the department director. Perhaps it is because of the office location (Singapore), and the department (Content Management), it was difficult to feel included as part of this large organisation in the 3 years while I was there. The department is a waste of talent and potential.
