Pros

Lots of independence, kind and smart coworkers, currently work remotely, benefits are decent for my needs.

Cons

Like all other corporations, Wiley and its leadership team have the type of greed they warned against in the Bible. INTERIM CEO Matt Kissner started his tenure with a base salary of $900,000 in 2023. Meanwhile, lower level employees have been taking on second jobs just to pay their bills. They will brag to your face about Wiley's financial success, then offer you a sub $40k salary. The workload each employee is assigned can be insane at times, and we are not fairly compensated for it. In addition, there is no feeling of job security. Constant restructuring; my department changes names, leadership teams, etc. multiple times per year. This, coupled with layoffs (and threats of further layoffs) leads to a high level of distrust and insecurity. If you make any attemps to get the leadership team to address these concerns, they will simply pretend they didn't see it.

Pros

Love the people I work with the autonomy to work as it benefits me and the company. There is a work life balance. Their benefits are good.

Cons

I have no career advancement. Pay is not competitive. They have gone through reorganization and we are doing much more for the same amount of money.

Pros

Remote options; decent benefits; many friendly people; company has been around for 200+ years; doing best to scale down and focus on important revenue-generating business lines

Cons

Over the last two years I’ve noticed Wiley hire a lot of technical experts from the outside who have come in and created/fixed a ton of issues for this antiquated company …. Only to then be laid off without any real reason other than budget cuts, and then those seasoned veterans / experts get replaced by “Wiley lifers” who are not qualified to be in the new role they get promoted into. It’s evident there is a lot of the good-ol-boy-club syndrome going on behind the scenes. The company values time with Wiley over performance and results. Would not recommend to anyone who is a real expert in their field that likes to innovate from the outside. It’s not a big enough or prestigious enough company to waste your time with.
