Wiley reviews

A lot of slackers, especially the middle/higher management. Too big and heavy for its own good. Too slow in reacting to market forces as the organization is just too big and clumsy with a lot of bad management and top management misplacing trust. A lot of passing the buck from managers to the bottom-dwellers. Too many lowly paid workers. Too many overpaid people who don't do a thing and there are way too many managers/directors around. Not much good training. Hardly any room for advancement as there are too many people who never left the company. No career path. HR and benefits are a mess. Do not appreciate talents.

Little to no room for advancement. Once you're on a track (editorial, marketing, production), expect to stay there. Moving around is hard, despite HR and management's claims to support each individual employee's desire for professional growth. Not a good place to work if you're not interested in the material you're working with -- best to find a job elsewhere or get out quick, or else you'll get stuck. Too much bureaucracy and red tape. Production moves slowly, mostly due to unnecessary procedure, and management spends more time putting together committees than doing something useful. Wiley is only the place to be if you want to be overworked, underpaid, and unhappy.
