      Recruitment process and first few months

      Pros

      I loved that everybody is friendly and willing to help. People have conversations with you in the kitchen and are genuinely interested in you as a person. The recruitment process also was very organised and informative every step of the way. There has never been a lack of information from anyone that I have dealt with from the HR person to the hiring manager.

      Cons

      It tales a while to get all your access provided and lots of learning when raising requests for access - things that can only be done when you are onboard.

      Pros

      I work in in the corporate headquarters in Colorado and it has quickly become on of my favorite companies to work for. The company culture is better than most, they don't talk about diversity, they just do it. I can have a phone call or meeting with people from 50 countries all in one morning and that's a normal morning. The company is making great strides towards new technology for the employees and they are great benefits including competitive PTO and healthcare.

      Cons

      As large and old as this company is there is some definite bureaucracy you have to deal with in order to get things moving forward, but that is said for any company of more than a few hundred employees. Don't expect to move mountains without a lot of other people involved and a very long time frame. We have had some recent large regulatory issues that have been resolved so there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in the company right now, but overall it is still a good place.

      Thanks for sharing! Like you, we also love the diversity of Western Union. With approximately 10,000 employees working in over 50 countries, we are passionate about being a global company. To address your cons, WU is interested in continuing to drive down bureaucracy wherever there is opportunity, and we hope to continue to decrease our employees' negative experiences with their leadership. Thanks again for your great feedback.
