Pros

Some good people working there outside of management

Cons

Massive and regular layoffs. Make sure you know and are kissing up to the right people to keep your job. The most impotent HR and legal department I've had to deal with in 25+ years

Pros

Smart colleagues. Meaningful, impactful work. Good health benefits and generous vacation.

Cons

Frequent restructuring and layoffs every year. The dust never settles. The overall vibe is a legacy media company still struggling with a digital transformation that should have happened 15+ years ago under more forward-thinking leadership. Salaries are lower than average and internal promotions are rare. Wiley is a solid place to gain experience and work with smart, dedicated people for a few years. You'll learn a lot and build good skills. But if you're early in your career and want competitive pay or advancement opportunities, you'll need to look elsewhere after 2-3 years.

Pros

Great team cohesiveness and willing to help.

Cons

Constant instability & change cause fear of layoffs. They tend to happen once a year. Territory changes drive the layoffs, but they lay off amazing people and keep others that aren't as good. Just the luck of the draw when it comes to your territory. They have lost major talent over and over.
