Wiley reviews

A general culture of fear and blame has created a nasty and negative work environment, where you are constantly watched over your shoulder to see if you make a mistake which could be used against you. No desire for progress or positive change, as middle management have been in the job for 15+ years and any change would reduce their knowledge of systems and processes. A culture very much stuck in the 80s & 90s (systems stuck there too!), which will put off anyone who is not of the same ilk. Very cliquey in the Bognor office in particular, which has resulted in mismanagement, high turnover of staff at certain levels and a lack of communication with the other offices (perceived to be the enemy)

Company restructuring has been ongoing for four years and, unfortunately, the company has been torn apart by it. Employee morale is at an all time low. Most current employees cannot even remember what the core values used to be or exactly when they were abandoned by high level management. Cost cutting prevails. Lay-offs continue at an in-ending pace. Knowledgeable and dedicated employees at all levels are long gone. Morale is at an all time low and distrust, fear, and micro-management prevails. The publishing industry has changed greatly, but Wiley clearly had no concept of how to adjust to the new marketplace.
