Meh

Pros

Good benefits (although the pension was frozen) and an on-site cafeteria which is great since there isn't much going on in Hoboken.

Cons

Nominal career growth, old-fashioned approaches, Flintstones-era technology, boys club, "Gorilla Glass" ceiling that's nearly impossible to penetrate. False sense of security for the old-timers. Many thought they would retire from Wiley but didn't. A major reorg that dragged on forever and likely still isn't finished.

Very changed company

Pros

- Largely reasonable management and expectations - Wisely working to redefine itself for current market realities and trends - Good bonus program - Storied company - Fiscally conservative

Cons

- Messaging of 2000s ("the place to be!" for employees) gave false sense of security to staff - Redefining company, including many many rounds of layoffs, has been perhaps even more painful and demotivating for remaining employees than it needed to be - Management sometimes more focused on reports than on strategy and connecting the dots - Not a risk-taking company

Pros

The local office was great, with caring and conscientious people. Generous benefits and time off. Depending on the manager, you could work a full schedule but still have time for your personal life. Opportunities for learning new things, but only at your specific job level.

Cons

The pros are how it used to be. Due to constant layoffs, old culture is gone. Some managers overworked you (50-60hr/wk). No opportunities for advancement. Time-consuming computer systems. Often caustic upper-management personnel. Ambiguous company goals. Ageism/healthism: Older staff let go and replaced by 20 yr olds; many employees given bad reviews for health conditions or after death of partner/spouse/parents.
