Great place to work; flexible and supportive teams

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to work overall. Teams are very communicative and supportive of one another and line managers are very clear of expectations and offer plenty of support and advice to meet goals. No benchmark for working during a lockdown so subjectively I felt I had people I was working with rather than for to achieve very clear common goals. Senior leadership makes a concerted effort to disseminate vital information and collaborate.

Cons

Many Wiley employees have been with the company for 5+ sometimes 15+ years so have a depth of personal background on the inner workings which might be a put-off for anyone joining in because it's the network of people that you need to interact with to keep these teams performing. Vertical development is a bit slow and hard to traverse but like many careers, it depends on the level of effort you put into it. Compensation is lower compared to others in a similar position in the marketplace, but its not uniform and a taboo subject.

Decent company to work for but could do better.

Pros

Helpful, friendly, engaged colleagues. Good salary and benefits. Half day summer Fridays.

Cons

Even for experienced employees, all companies have different systems and processes and Wily offers little to no onboarding/training to new people. Plus the systems are clunky and time-consuming. Project workflows take forever. The work is piled on and there is a lack of supporting roles so people work constantly and feel guilty and bad if they take a day off. There is little to no work/life balance if you try to get everything on your plate completed by deadline.

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are glad to hear that you took advantage of our benefits program and that your colleagues were supportive during your time working for Wiley. As we continue to update and work on our onboarding process, we encourage our employees to take advantage of our free learning tools including LinkedIn Learning and Cross Knowledge. Due to the nature of our global company, many of our employees work in different time zones, making it challenging to limit after-hour emails and messages. We do value our employees' work/life balance and advise all remote workers to set their own hours to better suit their personal needs, communicating when it best fits their schedule while understanding response times will vary for their colleagues' best fit. As our department expands and hires more employees to make our company run faster, we hope you will consider working for Wiley again.
