We are glad to have you on the WU team. The purpose driven aspect of what we do definitely resonates with people working here. Once you join the company and see firsthand how much people rely on our services (for education, housing, medical services, etc.), the "moving money for better" tagline becomes real. Good call-out on the long-term vision. Please continue to reinforce a long-term perspective on your team at WU, and let others know if you feel areas drift too much into short-term thinking.

Pros

Great salaries, benefits, people and work-life balance. Opportunity to telecommute on snow days and when scheduling conflicts arise.

Cons

Somewhat siloed, possible to become "pigeon holed" in one role/group. Titles are not always reflective of similar roles and responsibilities across departments (ie, some managers have large teams of direct reports, while others have none; even "sr managers". On the other hand, someone without the manager title may also have direct reports). This can lead to equity issues.
