Pros

Flexible work life and vacation. Somewhat decent salary but yearly increases are minimal.

Cons

No growth for tenured employees. You can be in the same position for 10 years without any natural progression in your career path. The only way to move up is to apply to a position once it becomes available. Those positions mostly are people management positions and the company seems to hire those without any proper people management skills. Management will also let their talented individuals leave the company without trying to keep them. Everyone seems replaceable. The New York office is also segregated from the rest of the company. There's minimal HR presence and no culture to be had. That office has become a very sad place to work on a daily basis. Senior Management are either fully remote or hide out in their offices. No product innovation. The current product and project management team keep recycling the same product based on a reactions in the industry. These teams need a major overhaul with talented individuals keen on developing the best software and experience possible. 1999 called, they want their website back.

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.
