Pros

Great place to grow international financial services experience. Lots of opportunity to move laterally and explore different areas of the business.

Cons

Company is going through a huge transition but without a well communicated vision of the future. A lot of the changes are to undo what the previous restructuring did. Management has no idea what it is doing. They are constantly talking about cutting costs but fail to waste money in the silliest things like unocuppied offices. Favoritism runs amock. No merit based promotions or pay. If you are friends with the right person you can get a pretty sweet upwards career track, otherwise, be happy to stay in your spot of move laterally non-stop. Not a good place for women right now. We used to have a lot of female VPs and above until early 2012. Not any more.

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.
