Pros

Some things that work for WU are the great brand it has, the business it does. Apart from this at in individual level things that worked for me were compensation, benefits, work life balance, travel

Cons

WU can work towards improving it's strategy. The start can be made by more competent people handling important roles. More points that need change are 1. Bureaucracy 2. Highly political environement 3. Slow pace of change 4. too many approvals to implement anything 5. absolutely no career growth 6. very little focus on development 7. no empowerment 8. everything comes and has to be done only from the US 9. Frequent lay-off's

Pros

Exciting time at a company in growth mode where your contributions make a big impact. Clear strategy in the digital, consumer services, and retail space and great people, teams, and leaders bringing it to life in the last year. Meaningful work and actually puts good in the world. Everything we deliver helps people and communities that faced challenges and lack of access / opportunities for generations. Not only do you get to focus on new tech but also what you deliver truly makes a difference in people’s lives. You’re not just serving ads or making rich people richer, you’re helping folks support their families, empower growth in developing nations, create a more connected world where people care for one another. Great growth opportunities and recognition from senior leaders in global forums.

Cons

Small groups negative people that are not open to change, evolution, new ideas but you will find that at any company and not just Western Union. The vast majority of people here are excited for where we are and the direction we are going.
