Pros

For me, the pros of working at Wiley were my boss (a very supportive person who would do anything to help you out professionally and personally); my coworkers (a great crew of hardworking people); and the job itself. I liked my job very much but the experience in the Wiley office was another thing (see Cons).

Cons

Once it looked like digital was the way the publishing industry was going, it just seemed that Wiley was something of a deer in headlights. They just didn't know which way to turn and worse, didn't prepare their employees before releasing them into a highly digitized workforce for which they were woefully undertrained to compete for jobs. Also, Wiley loves to boast about its supposed work/life balance, but from my experience this perk is only for a favored few. In my entire time at Wiley, many colleagues and I, who had proven ourselves as good workers who delivered work well and on time, were not permitted to work from home on a consistent basis for even one day a week. This, even though the work was of a type that could be done remotely. The other part I disliked about working there was how secretive management was.
