Wiley reviews

global higher ed has done a bad job trying to transition into digital. technology upgrades have failed miserably: example: wileyplus v5- which lost millions--. Management team responsible for this still involved in new projects which are doing badly. As many current and former employees have said, "the atmosphere is toxic." leadership has no idea what platform to use for digital media; editorial direction is abysmal; entitled publishers who can't manage teams, but can put on good acts.editorial leadership is incompetent. massive reorganization to bolster stock. middle and upper management still in place, even though under their "leadership" global higher ed has done astoundingly bad. classical example of old boy network. moral is at an all time low. depressing atmosphere. given a chance, most employees would leave. Many LAZY editors who "work" from home fulltime, yet don't bother to engage with support staff in mature manner. Most arrogant publishers i've come across. they mask their incompetence by aggressive and rude behavior that only highlights their utter lack of management skill or emotional intelligence. In a word, working at Wiley is like watching Miley Cyrus at the VMAs: embarrassing and cringe worthy; and uttery unaware.

-Advancement opportunities hard to come by unless willing to switch jobs -Technology needs overhaul -Massive reorganization that's resulting in a lot of good people losing their jobs, but most of the decision-makers keeping theirs -Terrible internal communication In a time of huge change for the publishing industry, Wiley's following suit with a lot of competitors and reorganizing. This is to be expected, but it's concerning that so many people are being let go globally while most of the upper leadership remains intact with new layers added in. Communication regarding this reorganization has also been severely lacking.
