Pros

Wiley employs some great, talented people.

Cons

Once a great American company that treated its employees with respect, Wiley has become solely profit-oriented. This is largely because it was too slow to react to the changing realities of the publishing industry — ebooks, social media, etc. — and so now is making massive structural changes within the company. Because of these changes, the large number of layoffs and the quality people jumping ship... to say Wiley is currently in turmoil is not an understatement.

Pros

The people, hands down. Intelligent, hard-working, helpful. My first 10 years at Wiley were idyllic--but I know now that was largely due to the group I worked in and my manager. It was collaborative, fun, and everyone worked toward a common goal.

Cons

The "restructuring and reinvestment" means that many talented, experienced people are being laid off while more and more "director" positions are created. Large chunks of departments were simply deleted, leaving those employees remaining to hold up a staggeringly heavy load.
