Pros

Small company (in Ireland) with growth opportunities arising along the years. Had a great working experience in the last five years, I've been able to touch on different aspects of the business.

Cons

Sadly, the management is very political and generally not everything is done the way it should be, but the way it is convenient for the management. Voicing your opinion can lead to bullying. I don't feel like the employees are being valued and the company struggles with retaining talent. This is a risk for the company, as with long-serving employees the company is losing years of knowledge and expertise. Internal communication is not great either. Many decisions are made based on the unknown.

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.
