Pros
I've found that "moving money for better" is much more than your average tagline here. I love knowing that our core business makes a very tangible difference in people's lives all over the world. I also really enjoy the team I work with. WU has employees in over 50 countries (and does business in 200+), so thinking globally is a must. Also, after a few attempts, I feel like WU is now seeing some real traction from its heavy investments in technology and compliance capabilities. The legacy of innovation to stay not only relevant, but a market leader is impressive. Nice benefits as well (maternity/parental/military leave, etc.). Fairly casual culture, while still very performance focused.
Cons
Being a global company is a two edged sword at times. Pretty much anything you read about in the global news, impacts our business in some way. Sometimes positively (e.g. surging economies in some countries), and sometimes negatively (e.g. a soft oil market at the moment). Also, since the company is currently rapidly expanding its digital/mobile money transfer and payments strategy, there are lots of things that are still being figured out. Lot's of ambiguity at times as WU charts its course in fintech. Again some people thrive in that environment, but it's not for everyone.
