Pros

401k HSA/Good health plans included decent pay but below competitors Depending on division you work for, you may have great solutions and good managers

Cons

Way behind the times (they are still trying to migrate away from being a publishing company) in development and innovation. It was shocking to be at yearly conferences and hear what is planned and realize these are things other companies did 5-7 years ago. Very limited mobility to move up or around- They know this and have never implemented a plan Fragmented - each business unit is basically a completely different company and they do not work or play well together. Internally- paranoid managers/directors who actively prevent different unit solutions from being integrated, leveraging the capabilities of both, providing an internal reference to, or even talking to other teams. HR protects the managers/directors - not the employee. Several long-term employees sabotaged by managers and culture of employees trying to protect each other from specific managers. At the same time, if a VP or Director leaves, the ex-high ranking employee has been blamed for things that have gone wrong that they were never involved with at all. No raises in my business unit for anyone despite yearly performance reviews, etc. No investment in on-going education

Creating an environment where people feel trusted, can contribute, and continue to develop is a key part of how product teams succeed.

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.
