Pros

1. Job security 2. Work life balance 3. Annual Bonus

Cons

1. Politics - Join this company to understand the meaning of office politics. If you can't do politics, your life will be hell. 2. Culture - Toxic work culture will affect you in multiple ways. 3. Growth - Your career progression stops at Senior level. To become a lead (manager), you need to be good at politics. 4. Management - Pune management comes from a service-industry background so expect service-based mentality. 5. If somebody from WK Europe/US visits Pune, they are treated like a client, not as a colleague. You are not allowed to interact with them.

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.
