Just a sad mess - Anonymous employee Wiley Employee Review

Where to start... all looks nice on paper but when it gets to the real work people do not like to be accountable nor have the required skills, all is just figured out on the go. We had some recent new hires lately and all were left to their own devices, no on boarding, no equipment set up etc. This was just awful! When brought up in a meeting ..."This is the Wiley way"... There are many old-timers around that just do not want to change anymore nor develop anything. They have their little thing going locally and that is enough for them. Of course those are extremely well connected can get away with anything. This goes as far as into HR. The amount of negligence/arrogance is appalling and does not contribute to any team spirit or future for the company. Again, all will look very nice on paper because all boxes are ticked on a sheet but never really ask ...otherwise you get the boot. Employees are asked to contribute to the Glassdoor presence by adding positive reviews adding to social media engineering. Managers in Chichester love standing around and gossip about anybody and everything, resulting in a very toxic atmosphere. This is the only time when they are not in their offices or a meeting. Development opportunities are zero to none because of pure office politics and the Girls Club.
