Good perks and benefits and savings and health benefits as well.
Conpetitive offer and above average wage
salary is commensurate with my education and experience
PTO is the best part
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I felt undervalued during training with amanda because she was rushing and when I asked her questions she was annoyed and irritated by my questions.
Wolters Kluwer recently changed the Paid Time Off 'PTO'. All employees lost 1 week (40 hours) of PTO. Why? Because of poor managemen! Managers do not communicate with their employees. Managers are old school and too formal. Managers did not do their job and keep up with sick vs vacation time.
Yearly increases are capped at 3%, and opportunities for promotions are dim. The company fills the majority of its positions with external candidates.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone is naturally very helpful
They go out of their way to help
They work like family caring for each others well being
My team is fast, collaborative, fun
We are truly collaborative and watch out for each other.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication, teamwork, negative thinking, unkind and unwilling to help co-workers
Everyone needs to do their jobs
Get together offsite and all find a new company to work for together.
There is competition and sense of insecurity within the coworkers. They refrain from sharing the knowledge
Share information. Be helpful and responsive. Communication should be promoted by managers and leads; not frowned upon.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It is laid back and the people are great
everyone helps each other to grow without competition
Perks and more perks with the extras
People help each other. If a better idea surfaces, we go with that.
Willing to help you when you are stuck
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
New leadership, new management. Stop making people feel invisible.
Transformative vision, and skilled leaders to put it in place. We flirt with the former, ignore the latter.
Appreciate employees who share information. Penalize those employees that do not share. Leadership needs to value workers in the US as much as they do the Pune, India teams. Stop allowing hoarding of work and information and force all teams to work together. Give us back our PTO time!
People are given the opportunity to work from home, but the privilege is abused, and there is no accountability.
The company constantly cuts staff and yet expects that we will be able to accomplish more with less people. It's terrible for morale and leads to a lot of negative discussions.
What did you like most about the interview process?
the team effort to really know the candidate being interviewed
Just how meticulously they select the perfect candidates
They don't pick any random employees. They meticulously select the people best suited for the roles.
Review from IT Dept
The interview process is quick and fast paced
quick, friendly and structured interview
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Well having four people talk during interview is bad and unprofessional.
What makes you most happy at work?
There really isn’t anything that makes me happy he
my job is never boring
We Provide soltutions which are needed in the Market. This soltutions are always in the top categories.
The work environment and not too much overtime work and a helpful environment
Working from home and patience from coworkers
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Trainer amanda and Gary underwood
Leadership needs to communicate with all employees and really listen. Stop taking away access from US employees to help fix critical customer issues. The offshore teams and 3rd party companies we do businesss with control our data and company. Very sad!
Over burdened due to staffing cuts. Hire a good replacement for the useless employee who has been allowed to remain employed for YEARS even though she was not deserving, instead of "eliminating a position" an leaving our team a person short.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Fair pay and advancement opportunities
Management listen to the people who actually do the work
