Pros

Many of the people in the trenches are hard-working, intelligent, and great to work with.

Cons

Management (Executive and below) are some of the worst I've seen anywhere. Major decisions in the Wichita division are often made with little insight into the impact on customers or employees. Employee's are basically treated like they have little to no value by management. 3 week notice lay-offs announced to impacted employees 3 weeks before Xmas despite great company financials. Most laid off seem to be older, long-term employees who have given years of loyal service to the company. On top of that, compensation is sub-standard.

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.
