Pros

Multicultural environment, possibility to understand what is to work in a corporation, good mark in the CV as to have worked for a world well-known company.

Cons

Bureaucracy is the key word. Salary offers are not competitive anymore. Misleading job advertisement descriptions. Company's huge, thus, you are so small that employer and direct manager does not really care whether you leave or not - you will be quickly replaced. No intentions to combat the huge employee turnover. Seen a lot of hired colleagues that were overqualified (they thought to be doing slightly different tasks) and soon left the job.

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.
