Pros

The employees who soldier on regardless of management decisions and actions. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

The executive management team is driven by cold and mean spirited executives. The company says and projects all the right things on the surface but reality is different. Long term employees are not afforded internal opportunities as reductions in force continually. Not consistent in applying standards to performance. Upper management makes decisions but are unfamiliar with the detailed running of the business and expect middle managers to clean up.

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.
