      Pros

      The people I worked with were great. I can't say enough about the person leading our sales department. He always had your back and was a very forward looking person.

      Cons

      The company changed right before our eyes from being family oriented - the Wiley's were very much a part of the company - and treated you like their family. Now that is totally gone. They got the idea that they had to change to a company that was primarily digital and they cast off book product and people respectively. Wiley was suppose to be the place to be as mentioned by the former CEO so many, many times. But then it went south and now it is know as Wiley the place to flee. Some of this is also the Wiley family deciding this was the right thing to do and which is so un-Wiley like. Terrible how they wrecked so many lives while they continue to get stock options galore.

      Pros

      The company seems to be making an attempt to respond to the marketplace and its competitors, even if they are attempting economies of scale that may not pan out.

      Cons

      There is a large break with the past. Recent layoffs have been kind of like Logan's Run, in that many longstanding employees are being cut instead of retrained. This has reduced institutional memory and created a young workforce that is going to be having a baby boom in 2025 as they all reach their mid-thirties. They are heavily relying on outsourcing almost all activities now, including sending copy editing to India. The cost savings is significant, but the product suffers.

      Pros

      Some really good things happening as the company tries to redefine itself. An Agile environment trying to be obtained

      Cons

      These good things resulted in biting off way more than it can chew. Indifference, fatigue and lack of heart amongst employees due to the countless rounds of layoffs permeate globally.
