Wolters Kluwer Senior Technical Product Manager salaries in India

Likes

Great company culture and work life balance, get to work on latest technologies, continuous encouragement on innovation and using latest technologies in market, great job security (they don't ever fire anyone, even non performing ones), great people all over the world with helping attitude, less politics compared to other companies and decent salary and benefits. Hybrid mode of working.

Dislikes

Less salary compared to other product based companies. Promotions are hard to come by, it takes 7 to 10 years to get promoted to each next level and most people leave before that. Even if you perform consistently excellent, you won't get a promotion for at least 7 years, so very less opportunities to grow. Increment are decent but fixed at 9% to 12% rate. And it's difficult to change your division or even project if you get bored of working on same project year after year. They only move you to different project if there is an urgent business demand in that. IJPs are for namesake as your manager would never approve your movement (unless you are a non-performer and manager doesn't want you in his/her team).

Noting as such

Dislikes

Hiring team of Wolters Kluwer is pathetic. No transparency with the candidate. Hiring team doesn't have expected salary discussion with management/stakeholders upfront and unnecessarily schedules multiple round of interviews with the candidate. No response provided by hiring team on interviews as well, until multiple follow-ups are done. Same case occurred with me twice with same company. Candidate's time and effort are equally important as of company. I think, hiring team process really need transformation. Pathetic experience with Wolters Kluwer Hiring Team :(

Wolters Kluwer is a multi division company which has 4 main divisions - Legal, Health, Tax & Accounting and Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC). Therefore, the evaluation of the company from an employee's point of view is a highly subjective exercise depending on which division the employee belongs to. This feedback is on the Grc division; Frr business unit. Things to like about this place - I won't waste your time. Nothing. There are many better places to work in this domain - Oracle, Sungard, go for them

Dislikes

... downright employee unfriendly. Compensation is poor/nowhere compared to market. Maximum leave carry over balance at end of a year is only 30 days(progressively reduced every year) Worst is leaves (including sick leaves) are on accrual basis which means that if you fall sick in the month of January (beginning of leave calendar year) for more than 1 day, then you will face loss of pay as only 1 sick leave accrues per month. 3. Colleagues are unprofessional and there is a very real undercurrent of racism. India based workforce are not treated in a humane fashion. 4. Zero investment in training and development of resources. They run it like a job shop with relations with employees kept as transactional as possible. 5. No realistic career progression path. Promotion leads to horizontal expansion of role, there is no vertical progression. 6. No facilities like transport, sub-standard canteen facility etc 7. Technology stack is outdated.
