Pros

I enjoyed my stint there. Started my own company after that. Vikas Gupta and other Senior Management have been an inspiration. - Great Office (the new one in Noida) - Mutiple Learning Opportunities

Cons

-They don’t focus on Brand Building in India. It’s known everywhere globally but my friends from other industries hadn’t heard of Wiley in India.

Poised for takeoff - but let's make sure the landing gear is excellent!

Pros

- Wiley is determined to evolve in order to be a competitive company for another 100 years. A strong balance sheet and continued Wiley family involvement mean it is likely to survive where smaller and less stable businesses will fail. - Wiley is experimenting and so a good place to share ideas and try new things. - Wiley attracts smart people, many with an academic bent, which matches well with our customers. In general, Wiley employees work hard and are almost all are interested in creating a sustainable future that meets market needs. - The people here, on the whole, are also nice to work with and kind. We do not generally suffer self-interested egos.

Cons

- Changes in executive leadership - coupled with frequent restructuring across the business as Wiley tries to define its future - leave many staff confused about priorities and struggling to stay motivated. - Many departments are arguably understaffed, which means core services suffer and employees have trouble taking the time to stay abreast of policy decisions, workflow changes, and strategic initiatives. This problem also contributes to the lack of resource needed to manage programs well and experiment soundly.

Pros

My department is incredibly flexible. Work from home days are a given, as is scheduling around appointments. Everyone is extremely friendly and willing to assist others. The company is also above and beyond accommodating for disabilities.

Cons

I've had terrible experiences every time I've needed to work with HR. (Except for Oxford-based HR. They're lovely.) I interviewed in 2015 and it was a nightmare, from the job description not being posted correctly, the HR contact giving me the wrong interview time, and they never even emailed to say they were moving on to other applicants. They did that same thing to a friend of mine in 2018 as well. I gave them another chance in 2017 and the interview process was luckily smoother and I accepted. HR also messed up my insurance and it took 2 months to resolve. The in-office HR didn't give me any relevant paperwork once I started and I relied entirely on colleagues knowing what I would need or should know about.

Thanks for the review! Flexibility is vitally important in a modern, connected workplace so I'm glad you're able to take advantage of that. So sorry to hear that you've had difficulty with some of the HR processes. Having defined processes is equally as important as maintaining flexibility so we'll be sure to relay the feedback.
