Pros

Exciting and transformative business challenge, sense of purpose and social impact, truly international culture, and great people as colleagues. A best kept secret!

Cons

Transformation means hard work, tough decisions and inability to do it all. Doing more with less. Not a place for someone wanting quiet living.

Pros

Western Union has great benefits, 401(k) match, and salary compared to other companies. PTO is also generous, and amenities include cafeteria and gym.

Cons

The culture at Western Union is toxic. Management is only worried about the bottom line, and are very hostile and cutthroat towards their direct reports and their peers. Overall, the worst working experience I've had in almost 10 years

The people were great. Lots of international work. Very global company

Cons

Working times were a bit odd as most of my team was based in Eastern Europe or Hong Kong.

We're glad you interned with WU! Yes, the global nature of the business is very exciting and rewarding, but it's true that occasionally when working virtually with global teams we trade off on who's time zone meeting times will be most convenient for. We just try to make sure we cycle meeting times as much as possible.
