Pros

people don't work too hard, so there isn't much pressure on you to work hard, either. good pay, good benefits. people were nice

Cons

"go along to get along" culture means that new ideas/perspectives are tolerated, at best. everybody is just keeping their head down to get a paycheck. you aren't really growing or being challenged. they will heap praise on you for doing the bare minimum. your colleagues, though nice, will hold you back if you ever try to actually accomplish anything. if you take another job for five years, then come back, it will be the exact same conversation-- like, nothing happened.

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.
