Pros

Very strong purpose (the mission is fantastic) and a fantastic workforce (literally working with people from around the world). You would be hard pressed to find a more global company & experiences. Really like the recent strategic direction & initiatives! It's an exciting time to be at WU!

Cons

Now stick with the strategic direction and initiatives! Management has been slow to innovate and pull the trigger on moves that look promising. We need to be less risk adverse and more aggressive.

Thanks! We love the very global nature of working at WU. Appreciate the input on "staying the course" in terms of strategy. We are constantly balancing risk and opportunity, and are excited about some of the ground-breaking FinTech offerings we've rolled out recently, such as WU Connect and WU EDGE.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
