Pros

Apart from insurance, no pros

Cons

I would suggest to rather stay unemployed for a few months, but do not join this organization. I haven't seen worse than this. Non sense policies, 8 hours/day to stay in office. Micro management by tracking your number of PRs through tools like Pluralsight. Forcing everyone to do more commits daily. Managers force to break 1 PR in multiple PRs just to show higher number. Management is so dumb that they think higher PRs = More work done. There is no vision, just cost cutting measures. They are forcing engineers to have 100% test coverage, even if there is no assertion logic in test cases, how baseless. Almost everyone in the org is looking to move out. They provided low configuration laptops to cut costs and expected to run multiple services and deliver quick. Managers just dump work on developers without context and expect developers to figure out themselves. No team work, worst culture, only blame game played.

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.
