Pros

Great if you need steady employment (as steady as being in publishing is these days) and do not wish to or need to grow your career in any way. It's the only publishing company I've heard of that gives a yearly bonus to everyone in a department, depending on they collectively did. Hours are great, benefits are fine, and PTO is stellar.

Cons

Talks a big talk about "innovation" but generally fails to put words into action. No career growth unless people above you leave, only opportunity for growth is management, which are roles they will not create more of. Nobody under the age of 50 should work there because your skills will likely atrophy from lack of use.

Thanks for the review and the honest feedback. Sorry to hear that you think there isn't a lot of opportunity for career growth! We've been working on a new program to highlight and communicate career opportunities within Wiley that should launch soon - hopefully that program and similar efforts will help shine a spotlight on some of the things you mention.

People don't leave companies, they leave managers

Pros

Wiley is attempting to make some major changes, there are some really good approaches

Cons

So many well trained people leave the company and all the knowledge is gone. Departments are seriously understaffed, workflows are contradicting, the policy and attitude is top down. There is no way bottom up and if you try it is a hard and frustrating way leading nowwhere, you realize quickly that feedback is not wanted if it is not positive, only success stories are allowed to be told. There is no problem solving strategy at all. Everything is kept under control, management keeps repeating all over that everything is great, expecting everyone to take over a happy attitude although overworked and frustrated. Workflows are changed all the time to cut cost, outsourcing leaves authors and customers frustrated, systems are not appropriate, well trained people spend most of their time doing assembly line work and more and more administration work they have not been hired for.
