Pros

Nice people and a nice office.

Cons

Layoffs are constant, every year, like clockwork. US jobs are being sent overseas en masse. Management doesn't care about the employee's well-being. Wiley just laid off a bunch of people, and then they encouraged their employees to write a glassdoor review. That is the definition of dysfunction. Nice way to shoot yourself in the foot, Wiley.

Pros

Incredibly important and cool product subject matter: science, history, etc

Cons

Family run style, status quo, territorial and political leaders ... all of which makes company EXTREMELY resistant to change.

Pros

Benefits are competitive. WFH was efficient but they keep hinting it will end.. Some bright & hard working folks if you can find those needles in the haystack and they weren't already or about to be let go.

Cons

Executives are so out of touch with the day to day work and staff. Company has gone downhill since recently released CEO came in 2017 - financially and culturally. Lots of talk but little action/results from Execs. Time for more execs to rotate out - head of Technology being a good start. Head of HR is newer but just spouts buzzwords. Constant cuts of those that do the work and very little cuts in upper management (VPs+ and C level). The work isn't cut, just the people to do the work. Almost no raises over the past few years and "tightening of the reigns" causes compensation to get out of alignment quickly vs a new hire. Don't even bring up a cost of living adjustment. Education side of he business has been under performing for years resulting in never ending cuts and low bonuses for those that remain. Board of Directors should have acted but didn't. There's nothing shared on how the decline will stop which leads one to believe there is just no plan. After releasing experienced on-shore staff, technology created offshore tech centers with low cost team members. There has been very high turnover with constant knowledge loss, so more expensive everything takes so long to develop or address issues, if you can even get someone to look into it. These tech centers are presented as big successes when in reality, everyone (business and tech) knows they are expensive failures. Its impossible to believe the Execs when they outright misrepresent to boost their egos.
