Pros

Informal atmosphere Colleague's are fun to work with

Cons

HR decides salaries, only people with good personal connections to HR will get a good salary. Salaries do not follow predetermined scales and are assigned on personal relationships or lucky timing. Huge disconnect between HR and the employees. Management has no clue what's good for the company and prefer politics and quick crappy fixes over investing in people and products with a long term vision and quality. Work is chaotic with no processes in place, its a corporate battleground. People either don't care or burn out or leave the company.

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.
