Wiley is inclusive and innovative, allowing remote employment and offering a wide variety of initiatives that foster employee well-being.
Cons
Like most large institutions, Wiley still has a long way to go in the realm of equal pay and salary transparency. To their credit, they are actively working on it.
Flexible workplace with amazing benefits including paid parental leave. Execs are reachable and you can find yourself having a video chat conversation with an EVP, for example. Most of my colleagues are either entering their start of the career or have been with Wiley for decades. I’ve never seen so many people stay with one company for the entirety of their career, which speaks a lot to the culture and great pay.
Cons
Work-life balance is sometimes a challenge, as emails are coming in at all hours. The company supports *actual* down time and disconnecting, though hard to do as a newbie.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and we are thrilled that you highly recommend our company to your friends and family. We hope that you continue to grow and develop incredible leadership skills at our company to help teach newer colleagues. We do work in various time zones, which makes it difficult to stop after-hours emails, and the feeling to jump in right away. However, we strongly encourage all employees to only respond to emails during their chosen work hours to ensure a healthy work-life balance, even when you are a newbie!
Fellow coworkers are generally great, focused on producing a quality product, and customer service. Company is focused on education and research products, which is rewarding.
Cons
Perpetually understaffed, leading to staff being consistently over capacity in workload. Reorgs and layoffs in different parts of company approximately every year for the last 6-7 years. Increased outsourcing has not sufficiently taken burden from remaining internal staff, and quality has suffered. The company invests in external hires at the expense of existing junior staff advancement and compensation.
