      Good opportunities if you work in the main office

      Pros

      Wiley is a large company with a very good reputation in the publishing community. It is a steady paycheck and a 40-hr family-friendly work-week

      Cons

      Less opportunities for people who work in branch offices. Not a lot of room for growth or advancement in a lot of the positions.

      Pros

      If you are in an area that Wiley values, you will benefit from good HR policies and benefits

      Cons

      There are too many new managers with no company history and while they have grand plans, there is a lack of training and support to see it through

      In a tailspin

      Pros

      Many colleagues are really sharp. There is a huge amount of talent in the mid- to lower-senior ranks of the organization. Generally well-regarded among readers and authors, and it tends to be a major player in all the areas it publishes in: higher ed, professional, science, technical and medical. The salary and benefits are good, or at least in line, with industry standards. You will often have a good working relationship with your immediate managers, despite possible misgivings about the company's senior leadership.

      Cons

      I could write pages and pages, but will try to keep it brief. The company is going through a major restructuring, supposedly to "re-invest" for the future. However, the benefits of this reinvestment are years out. Meanwhile, many of the originally understaffed teams holding together all of Wiley's weak systems and processes have been let go, and many activities abruptly outsourced to external vendors. The transition has not been smooth. There is a mortal fear of adding headcounts, which has been a problem for years. Added to the weak systems, this means that whatever level you are hired in on -- from junior to senior -- you will have a ton of admin work which you will have to do yourself. This will take a toll on your long-term development. And given the chronic aversion to replacing heads, we are seeing the pipeline of content get thinner and thinner, which will translate in sustained revenue declines, and again looking at cost cutting to fill the gap.
