Pros

Regularly gather feedback from colleagues about their experiences at Wiley and actively work on potential improvements. Celebrate Happy Fridays during the summer, and encourage colleagues to reserve Friday afternoons for focused work during the rest of the year. Support colleagues in achieving work-life balance by organizing various well-being sessions. Foster a supportive environment with minimal internal competition, where colleagues are generally very helpful. Prioritize colleagues' career and personal development, showing genuine care for their growth.

Cons

Frequent organizational changes can be disruptive. Decision-making and internal system developments lack efficiency. The workload is consistently intensive.

Pros

I enjoyed my time working at Wiley. Company culture was good, esp for a large company. Upper management encouraged maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and that was reflected in a generous PTO policy. I believe the base # of PTO days was 18 when I started, plus 2 floating holidays, and the # of PTO days would increase depending on your # of years employed there. 100% remote work was also a huge plus.

Cons

As with most companies, salary increases were not stellar unless you were getting an actual promotion. Promotion cycles were only offered once per year, and in my experience, you had to apply for a position opening to secure a promotion - they weren't offered based on performance. They did have a merit-based bonus system, but the % you're eligible more is dictated not just by your own performance, but also by the company's overall performance for that year, so...if it wasn't a great year for the business, it wasn't a great year for bonuses.
