Pros

35 hour work week, a casual office environment, reasonable workload, low-stress office, ample vacation and holidays, and good work/life balance (the company encouraged employees to develop and foster outside interests).

Cons

Virtually no room for promotion or growth, departments are siloed, management resists change, creativity is not encouraged (I've worked for four publishing companies and this was the most corporate and least innovative/creative of all of them). Then Wiley went through a massive restructuring where many jobs were outsourced, eliminated, and offshored. The restructuring took over 2 years and slowly more and more people were let go. It felt like a slow death and killed office morale, and upper management seems disinterested in revitalizing it.

Pros

All of my managers were fair and understanding. The hours are flexible with the ability to work remotely. Also, benefits are generous.

Cons

Common for the industry, but compensation is not great and promotions can be difficult. Many people have been around for a long time, even if ineffective, so it's sometimes tough to move up.

Pros

There are opportunities to be had if you keep your eyes and ears open. No one is going to hold your hand here and lead you to a raise or a promotion, but by collaborating with movers and shakers (not complainers) you can build a rewarding career at Wiley.

Cons

Wiley is a company with a 200-year past. It's difficult to navigate the transition from print to digital, and it's not nearly a seamless transition. There is a lot of uncertainty, which few people enjoy, and it is really tough to say goodbye to colleagues who have been let go.
