Pros

Team is good and very active

Cons

I recently resigned from my job with the last date of last week of last month, I raise some concern over to the CIO of WU about the leader in Pune. i know more about the Pune leadership as i worked directly with them. i want you to confidentially review and take necessary action, if you dont take action i an sure most of the team member would leave, please take necessary step on this please. i am not mentioning my name, because i know you guys can easily guess based on my recent email to Interim CIO. someone take action, and do not move all job here to pune , because their is lot of unethical,discrimination and very hostile environment for the team to work. HR here take no action on any concern, and most of the feedback is from HR as i heard them speaking with the Pune leader on the same.

Better places to grow career

Pros

Decent benefits and some smart, motivated colleagues and pretty slow/laid back atmosphere. Depending on the role you also have the ability to direct your work into areas you are interested in. Also, access to occasional event tickets is fun.

Cons

The company is currently in a hiring freeze and doing poorly so there is little to no room for growth and advancement, most of the talent leaves after a couple of years. Upper management seems to lack a consistent vision or is unable to execute which has led the company to consistently miss goals. WU Way is a joke and WU Way 2.0 only shows how ineffective the program is.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to see that you have noted our benefits, the company culture, and the people as pros at WU – we couldn’t agree more! While we are in the middle of a very transformative time, we strive to provide opportunities for all employees based on knowledge, skills, abilities, and reward performance for individual contributions and high-value results. Our WU Way, changing the way we work to deliver a better customer experience and drive growth for the company, requires shared accountability to continuously improve our teamwork, communication, and culture, and that is top of mind for us. As we continue to help influence positive change across our organization, we will share your comments with the appropriate teams.
