Pros

Pay is competitive. Company is beginning to adapt to changing environment. CEO is making headway.

Cons

Not much team effort/communication, nor effort between teams. It's "us/me" versus "them/you" at WU. Newbies - don't expect to get much training. The less you know, the better off and more "job secure" people think they are. Some seem to build their confidence by thinking they know more than you merely because they didn't communicate what they know about WU internal processes.

Pros

No weekend work, in a nice corporate park, pay isn't bad for level of work.

Cons

Constant reorganization with layoffs. Outsourcing most of IT to 3rd party vendor. Other positions moved to Eastern Europe and Central America. No accountability. Unrealistic projects timelines and a lot of cya goes on when it falls apart.

Pros

There are no longer any Pros.

Cons

Company is trying to cut costs by implementing an open seating arrangement. Everyone under VP level now has about 3 feet at an open air table. If you prefer a more traditional, quiet and private space this is not an optimal arrangement. If you are not sure ask to see the space before taking an offer.
