Pros

- Remote / Hybrid work options

Cons

Are you someone that wants to work on the newest technology with people who are decent human beings and have a new employees best interest in mind? if the answer is yes, please stay away from this company as they are setup to have you fail. Technology is antiquated, they primarily work out of Excel spread sheets and have high expectations of the QA Staff. Weekend work is expected, and you are only paid 35 hours for work on the weekdays and have to earn the other 5 hours over the weekend if you are part of the QA Team. I was lied too during my interview, and was told that the position would be fully remote. I was then told that I would have to commute 2 1/2 hours into the office once / twice a month. 0 expectations on what the company expected from me, and my Manager barely gave me 0 goals. Senior staff are not helpful, and there's literally 0 documentation as senior staff use that to their advantage for job security. No training's on how to use their software, and barely any transparency on your yearly reviews. Massive lack of documentation across the whole company, and senior management are fully focused on keeping the ship from sinking and have 0 time to address glaring issues. Avoid this company like the plague, unless you're near retirement age and just want somewhere that will pay you money while treating you like complete garbage and making you use technology from 1995. Majority of the staff are near retirement age and are still listed as "Juniors" in the organization after being at the company for 30+ years. How could someone remain a Junior after being in a position for that long? If you want to climb the ranks and move into management, this company is not the place to be. I've seen multiple employees with longer tenures than some of the staff working there have been alive, still at junior or mid levels. Raises are barely above inflation costs, and target incentives for revenue are never met and bonuses are rarely given. I would give this company 0 stars if I could, literally a waste of time. Turnover rates are so high they lie to employees during the interview process. Stay away and do yourself a favour and take a job with another 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.
