Pros

There are still a couple smart talented people trying their hardest to make the best of a bad situation. The products are innovative and solve real problems and the relationship with clients is very strong. The location is great, and so is lunch, but those are not things that make up for the chaos this company is falling into if people don't do something.

Cons

eVision used to be the leader in its field and the staff stood behind the mission and the vision of the company. There was a passion that was felt in the organisation. All that is gone now. Almost all the talent has left due to the lack of direction and input after the acquisition. Sister company acts like they own the place even though the new leadership is never in the office, and barely understands what eVision does. All the negativity about HR is 100% true. They haven't shared any info for at least 3 years, there are no career paths and whatever you want to achieve you have to pull out of the company, instead of being rewarded for hard work. Even now, when many of the good people are leaving, there isn't a peep. HR is aggressive and gossips about everyone. Many of the perks that used to be provided have been stripped, meaning that what little reward you could get, is now not achievable either. The team spirit has pretty much disappeared and it is very sad to see.

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.
