Pros

You need a paycheck and you don't have any other options. Of course, some of the businesses are better run than others, for example, the US tax business is more successful and better run than many of the other US businesses.

Cons

Poor management, lack of strategy, decisions based on politics not business, crumbling infrastructure, unable to innovate or execute competently on even the biggest most well-funded projects. This company is not just left behind by the competition, even our customers are innovating better and more rapidly with their own content and they are not professional information companies

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.
