Wiley reviews

Recent leadership changes and pending restructuring have resulted in destruction of what was a positive and supportive culture. What we have now is a culture that is distrustful of management and hopeless about the future of publishing. Morale is at a all-time low. Communication is non-existent. Such a sad place to work right now.

Mediocrity thrives at Wiley. Corporate culture is rigid and suffocating. Too many incompetent directors and managers. The IT is fragmented and different groups do not collaborate together resulting in too much wasted time, money and resources. Managers of different groups act sometimes like warlords jealous of each other and fighting for their turf. Projects take forever to complete. It is easy to get into conflicts with others just by simply trying to do your job. Too much bureaucracy. Even simple tasks could drag for long time because of senseless procedures.. Too much politics. It is more important who you know than what can you do. Although Wiley offers many paid days off the poor management could create frequent, prolonged emergencies and stressed out people. Last year one big and long project ended in a complete fiasco. Surprisingly to many the same managers responsible for the disaster are running other projects. There is no place for development or advances. Management promotes buddy culture and are not interested genuinely in your opinions. You don't really get credit for the work you've done. Needless to say the morale in IT is extremely low. Currently the IT is going through restructuring and it is likely most of it will be outsourced to reduce operational and management cost. Unfortunately this also means Wiley will lose many talented people which would probably make its current problems even worse.
