      Pros

      Not that long ago, Wiley was an outstanding company to work for. It used to be transparent, employee-focused, and guided by a clear and compelling mission. With luck and a change in attitude and engagement by the leadership, it will be that once again.

      Cons

      The company is in major turmoil. Despite two years of analysis by consulting firms and a much-vaunted plan to remake the company for the new era in publishing, there seems to be no clear vision. After dismantling teams and processes and imposing untested new procedures in many areas at once, the leadership now seems to have abandoned those employees who remain to somehow make things work.

      Miss the people, not the stress.

      Pros

      The local office was great, with caring and conscientious people. Generous benefits and time off. Depending on the manager, you could work a full schedule but still have time for your personal life. Opportunities for learning new things, but only at your specific job level.

      Cons

      The pros are how it used to be. Due to constant layoffs, old culture is gone. Some managers overworked you (50-60hr/wk). No opportunities for advancement. Time-consuming computer systems. Often caustic upper-management personnel. Ambiguous company goals. Ageism/healthism: Older staff let go and replaced by 20 yr olds; many employees given bad reviews for health conditions or after death of partner/spouse/parents.

      Heading in the right direction

      Pros

      Great brand with high quality authors and content, making a steady and profitable move to digital. People are friendly, great benefits, good working environment. Recent restructuring changes have been unsettling but seem right-headed given changes in the business.

      Cons

      Pay could be more attractive but seems about right for the publishing industry. Would like to see top performers recognized. People stay at Wiley for a LONG time so career opportunities are a bit limited.
