lots of lip-service to "BDP" no leadership/strategy. Clueless management. - Publisher Wolters Kluwer Employee Review

Pros

There are many talented and generous people in the business who work or have worked at WKH. Flix time. The benefits are fair--though not enough to compensate for the lack of raises and opportunity to move up.

Cons

Constantly educating/updating/reporting leaves little time to improve the business. Mangement is always in flux--the new ones "learning the business" but then too busy reporting up to gain real insight into customer needs and how to meet them. Reading other WK reviews across the country, I can see the constant reporting and budgeting and forcasting and reporting is epidemic as a waste of time and resources.

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.
