Layoff-palooza

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart colleagues. Meaningful, impactful work. Good health benefits and generous vacation.

Cons

Frequent restructuring and layoffs every year. The dust never settles. The overall vibe is a legacy media company still struggling with a digital transformation that should have happened 15+ years ago under more forward-thinking leadership. Salaries are lower than average and internal promotions are rare. Wiley is a solid place to gain experience and work with smart, dedicated people for a few years. You'll learn a lot and build good skills. But if you're early in your career and want competitive pay or advancement opportunities, you'll need to look elsewhere after 2-3 years.

Great people to work with but instability and constant change cause layoffs

Customer success manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team cohesiveness and willing to help.

Cons

Constant instability & change cause fear of layoffs. They tend to happen once a year. Territory changes drive the layoffs, but they lay off amazing people and keep others that aren't as good. Just the luck of the draw when it comes to your territory. They have lost major talent over and over.

So much potential but not organized/structured effectively to leverage it.

Sr director

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

It's pretty stable with a decent work-life balance.

Cons

Innovation and entrepreneurship are not prioritized and, in some cases, punished when the bigger fish in the pond feel that you may come up with a better idea/way forward that could take the limited resources away from their pet projects.
