Pros

Wiley was once an amazing place to work There are still vestiges of the old culture They are generous with time off and work-life balance is still part of the culture The Hoboken office is in a good location, near the train

Cons

In 3-4 short years this company has gone from being a great place to work to a place where everyone is waiting to see if their job will be eliminated in the next reorg. Some really great people in senior management have been let go and virtually everyone is demoralized. The pay is based on publishing salaries but they are trying to recruit from the broader information and technology industries so they can't really compete. Promotions are not that easy to come by and the increases that are offered with promotions are insulting.

Pros

It used to be a great place to work with a few exceptions; one being lower than industry average pay. In fact it was always rated among the top employers for places to work. We were almost treated like part of the family. Benefits and PTO was, and still is fantastic!

Cons

Upper management changed and in came the "consultants" and out went all of the talent in lieu of contracting all critical work overseas. Publishing as an industry is in flux and requires new ideas to stay in the game. Unfortunately management wasn't producing these ideas and the employees who had them, along with a vision for growth in a tough market, were ignored, and then eventually laid off. The current upper management is even more clueless and believes everything is solved not by their own new thinking, but by saving dollars by contracting everything to India.
