Pros

Salary on time Cab service Great office space

Cons

Company is going through a cost-cutting phase so currently are firing folks. Your employment contract has no meaning here, they will change contract when they feel like it, with no chance of negotiation. Talent has no relevance here, its all about what needs to be done to please the management in US. Folks at US have no idea how they are being tricked by Indian managers to stretch the project timelines. Join the company at your own perils, if you only want to do menial job. Increments are peanuts and promotion cycles are really really long. Promotions and recognition are only offered to folks who will be nodding yes to whatever manager says, no questions asked. Engineering managers have sub standard technical skill set and have little to no knowledge of platform they work in. Placing people on PIP is common here.

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.
