      Great people but needs a reboot fast - Anonymous employee Wiley Employee Review

      Pros

      Great pockets of people. There seems to be some desire to attract and retain talent. The Wiley family is still involved and cares.

      Cons

      Low pay comparative to market if you've been at the company for a while. Too many restructures with new leadership only bringing in outside hires from their previous lives, and building new mini-empires of people who don't understand our customers. The Senior Leadership team is only interested in tearing each other down.

      Thanks for the review. People are definitely the heart of Wiley and that the Wiley family is still involved in the company after 200+ years makes us a unique and special family oriented place. Times of change often create challenges throughout an organization. You're right that communication is a necessary component of management and it's something we should always strive to do effectively!

      Pros

      Nice coworkers and managers, work-life balance, smart people and industry, opportunities to grow skillset. If you volunteer for opportunities, you will be supported and will learn a lot about the industry.

      Cons

      Pay and hybrid office work

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

      Cons

      Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
