      Thanks for your input. As you alluded to, we know that one of the things people like most about working for WU is the caliber of people you get to work with on a global scale. There is always room for improvement to the culture, and there are likely extremes of "micro-culture" within the context of the "macro-culture." We are proud of the positive strides made recently to reinforce a customer-centric mindset throughout the company. That said, we agree with you that in our pursuit for continual improvement, it's important to not only recognize WHAT people achieve, but also HOW they do it.

      Negatives of a big company

      Pros

      Because of its size, there always seem to be job opportunities. WUBS provides decent benefits, including a generous PTO package. They pay lip-service to many of the qualities one might look for in a company (though it's harder to say if they deliver). If you work in sales then WUBS may be able to provide a great opportunity because it's difficult to offshore these positions and they need them all over the country to maintain and build a customer base.

      Cons

      They don't seem to have a consistent direction. They're always in the process of building new products or re-branding, but before reaching their stated goals, the direction changes. Despite the size of the company, it's difficult to move-up internally, however lateral movement is generally an option. They seem to do most of their management hiring externally, and are in the process of offshoring much of their operations and technical support.

      Thanks for leaving a review. Many of our colleagues at WU value the chance to work with big data (Hadoop), as well as use and develop advanced technology capabilities to move money safely and reliably across boarders in over 200 countries and territories.
