Pros

Working flexibility 2 days a week in office.

Cons

I recently made the decision to leave my role as a Solutions Manager after nearly three years, and unfortunately, my experience was significantly impacted by a deeply concerning internal culture. There is a persistent pattern of poor leadership and lack of strategic direction. During my tenure, I reported to four different Sales Directors, creating constant disruption, misalignment, and an absence of consistent vision. This level of turnover at a senior level made it extremely difficult to execute effectively or build any long-term success. More concerning, however, is the management culture. Weekly meetings were often unproductive and, at times, hostile, with senior leadership resorting to unprofessional behavior, including shouting and public criticism. There have also been repeated instances of inappropriate conduct and harassment toward employees, which have not been adequately addressed. From a commercial standpoint, there appears to be a disconnect between leadership expectations and practical sales execution. Decisions are frequently made without a clear understanding of the sales process, creating further frustration for frontline teams. While there are talented individuals within the organization, the broader environment makes it challenging to thrive or feel supported.

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.
