Pros

Well established company with tons of history and portfolio diversity. There are many avenues to take your career because of the vast diversity of the organization

Cons

this place is a mess! Because it's an older company, there are very old ways of thinking that don't allow for employee diversity, updated technology or career challenge. All of this affects revenue and revenue is literally the only thing management thinks about. Management needs a complete overhaul. Again, old ways of thinking and therefore when new people are hired they have that same sense of doing the same old ways of selling and marketing but require high revenue from each department. There are also frequent layoffs with no real rhyme or reason. The people who don't do much or produce new ideas stay while the individuals who have a clear customer focus and know how to move the needle are let go. Many times the same amount of work is just redistributed to the employees who are left. Little work/life balance.

Pros

Wolters Kluwer has some genuinely amazing people working for them and offers flextime for good work/life balance

Cons

Recently began pushing to "inhouse-outsource" as much of the core business functions as possible to their new service center in Pune, India. While many of my Indian colleagues are exceptional people, the constant turnover with overseas contractors and haphazard hiring and training process means that many of these staff members are woefully underprepared and set up for failure. As an example, I had to train my Indian contractor replacement before I left - while he was a lovely person, he had zero training in or experience with US payroll, benefit or tax structures despite that being approximately 50% of my core job function.
