Pros

WU has a fantastic work force from all around the world sharing good values and the teams are highly professional.

Cons

Unf. the senior management has changed the organsition up to twice per year the last years making drastic changes to the teams. The change of your direct mananger makes you feel very insucure about your positiion. This has resulted in lower productivity among the employees and also a lot of people are looking for new jobs to secure they will have a job in the future.
