Pros

The pay is good, you’ll work with extremely smart and talented people. The building is beautiful and the work is very global.

Cons

The company culture is driven by micromanagement, lack of trust, confusing messaging from leadership, and lots of layoffs, layoffs are happening every few months and there is no concern for who has to pick up the work. While the bonus here sounds really good, it has not been 100% in years, and now even if all targets are met employees only get a portion since the rules around who is allowed a full bonus is extremely limited. The executive suite is lacking diversity and it’s very clear, even has been said, they do not care about employees.

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.
