Pros

Relies on its reputation of what it once was.

Cons

Unethical leadership, poor business practices, lack of understanding of its own industry. No respect for authors or staff. Very sad how quickly it was gutted.

Pros

Its a paycheck and we all need those.

Cons

One of the benefits that most people loved the most was the huge amount of PTO. Now that Deltak has become Wiley, you can't use time until you have accrued it. Meaning, forget taking a week off in January to go someplace warm because you won't have enough vacation time accrued. Basically, you won't have a full week until the third or fourth month of the year. This was one of the greatest benefits to working here. High stress environment, but balanced with time off when you needed a break. There is no paternity leave and the maternity leave is only what is allowed by law. Also, when you return from your maternity leave you will receive a smaller percentage increase in salary at your review due to a penalty for having missed whatever amount of time you missed during your leave. I'm not even sure if that is legal, but they are doing it.

Pros

Benefits are good, and there are a lot of smart dedicated employees. The Wiley family is highly engaged and great role models.

Cons

Consultants are making too many critical decisions. The management is detached, and the direction unclear and confusing. Recent acquisitions could save the company, but aren't strategically aligned. Repeated rounds of layoffs are disheartening and look more like desperate money-saving moves than strategic and thoughtful decisions. Wiley has become an "old boys" network with executives making forays to men's clubs and stripper bars -- quite unusual in an industry dominated by women.
