Pros

4 weeks PTO plus 12 holidays right after hire. 6 weeks PTO after 10 years.

Cons

Horrible managers. CCH software development dept for Prosystem fx ran like a sweat shop and you're treated like you're a kid. Constantly getting emails about stupid and petty stuff. Expected to work 55-60 hours from Oct- Jan regardless of getting your own work done. Dept plays favorites. Let's some work only 40 and constantly harass those that don't. The VP's for Prosystem fx are complete idiots. They only care about the bottom line. Negotiate as high a salary you can because you'll be lucky to get a annual raise. It's not based on performance. The dept gets a pool of money each year and has to divide it among 100 people. Each lead is forced to run their team like the military. If you like your lead to hold your hand and constantly look over your shoulder then this is the job for you.

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.
