Pros

Very strong purpose (the mission is fantastic) and a fantastic workforce (literally working with people from around the world). You would be hard pressed to find a more global company & experiences. Really like the recent strategic direction & initiatives! It's an exciting time to be at WU!

Cons

Now stick with the strategic direction and initiatives! Management has been slow to innovate and pull the trigger on moves that look promising. We need to be less risk adverse and more aggressive.

Thanks! We love the very global nature of working at WU. Appreciate the input on "staying the course" in terms of strategy. We are constantly balancing risk and opportunity, and are excited about some of the ground-breaking FinTech offerings we've rolled out recently, such as WU Connect and WU EDGE.

Pros

Global company with a healthy culture managing agents in the entire globe ranging from large partners to mom and pop outfits with a varied range of technologies.

Cons

Large not agile organization with a great team of business leaders and technologist working together to improve culture, social and political contributions. The integration of many technologies ina blend of incoherent network makes it difficult to change.
