Pros

The non-executive people who work here are great.

Cons

The executives have difficulty communicating and affecting change down the chain of command. Like many corporations, change happens slowly. In a transforming business, slow change could doom the company. The morale is horrible. There are efforts to move into emerging markets, but it's like turning a huge ship around in high seas.

Pros

Wiley has great benefits. The staff is intelligent and collaborative. Mid-level managers typically support staff with on-the-job training and and constructive criticism.

Cons

Wiley laid off a considerable number of people within the past year while executing a change in their business strategy. The layoffs negatively impacted the company culture resulting in considerable morale issues. Throughout the process staff received little communication about the skills Wiley needed in order to execute their new business strategy. Although senior management suggested that staff training would be part of the transformation none was forthcoming and instead jobs were moved to India.

Pros

Great history. Wiley family very decent and committed to the business. Unexciting but solid financial performance. Respected within the industry.

Cons

Used to have a family style concern for the well being of staff. A bit old fashioned maybe, but nonetheless still nice. Current CEO isn't, in my opinion, the right fit for the business. He's not a people person and not the right calibre for an organisation of Wiley's size.
