Pros

Lots of talented folks with deep industry knowledge. Competitive salary and benefits. Nice location in a great city. Good support of charitable causes.

Cons

Upper management churn and constant layoffs have led to a culture of fear forcing employees into self preservation mode. Too often people won't share knowledge for fear of becoming the next person to be severed.

Pros

WU has a great product and if managed well has the potential to be the market leader for another 160 years.

Cons

Eventhough technologically the company has a lot of catching up to do the good news is that the things are changing for better
