Pros

Great people that like to have fun while getting work accomplished. Strong confident position in the market place at the Tier 1 Accounting space. Management appreciates it's people and is willing to work hard and long in order to be successful. If you are willing to do the same you will fit right in. CCH is a large organization but the accounting technology group operates like it's own start up...with cash. The players are a good team of individuals that have been around for a while and they like to work hard as well as play hard. Compensation was on the short side of preferable but great benefits, good training, great corporate events and outstanding people. All interact if you make it so from the president of the division on down.

Cons

This role was developed to bring smaller market accounting firms into the fold and management was admittedly unclear on what the demographic for this role would be. Guesses were ranged from firms with 1 to firms with 125 professionals. Given CCH strong 98% market penetration in the tier 1 accounting space the cash cow was going away. This was a technology position and management didn't seem certain on exactly how to go about pursuing the small/medium market firms. Having sold a premium technology to firms that asked about price later, there was a disconnect in dealing with smaller firms. There was some minor static between the New Business people and the sales team that had been around a while -- natural nervousness due to the unknown but it was managed fairly well. Eventually this role was phased into several existing positions.

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.
