Pros

Great history. Wiley family very decent and committed to the business. Unexciting but solid financial performance. Respected within the industry.

Cons

Used to have a family style concern for the well being of staff. A bit old fashioned maybe, but nonetheless still nice. Current CEO isn't, in my opinion, the right fit for the business. He's not a people person and not the right calibre for an organisation of Wiley's size.

Pros

Colleagues are great--smart, mission-driven, collaborative.

Industry change has led to massive changes in the way Wiley works, and it's painful for everyone to move into the future of publishing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good medical benefits, no overtime, nice office environment

Cons

Management not hands on and not open to views from lower level staff. Company strategies too traditional. The company is always in contingency plan and has been undergoing major restructuring plans, laying off many staff, yet on the other end hiring many new managers and directors with higher pay than the staff they laid off, talk about "cutting costs". Very demoralizing to current employees. Little opportunities for career advancement.
