Everything. You will learn about Office Politics more than you would of your own trade craft. Working hours are horrible and the fun fact is you are expected to strech as that is part of your role. An Associate Manager has 0 authority. They are glorified PAs is all regards. The absolute sorry state of affair is that the management doesn't even consider ratings given by AMs. Calibrated ratings(revised) are pushed down from upper management and then we are tasked to justify why someone got a bad rating despite him/her having worked for 60-65hrs/week. An employee who after jumping through all the hoops if manages to get top rating the monetary benefits he would get will be a meager 2-3% difference in comparison to someone who got average rating. They are promoting mediocrity. Employee dissatisfaction is of no consequence, under the pretence of cost cutting, they will get rid of entire job functions, but magically they have the buffer to hire more and more Directors and VP, whose compensation is by no means a joke. Their strategy to evolve has fell flat on its face. The stock is tanking, customers are unhappy, their own staff is unhappy but somehow when we join Town Halls everyone and everything is just doing awesome, some propaganda this is. The problem is systemic and at this point has metastasised. First step to solving any problem is to acknowledge that there is one. Introspection is required from all grades above 13, if so many people are having issues and escalating then maybe there is some merit to it. There is an exodus in play in terms of talent leaving the organisation. Feel sorry for this brand who was once the most sought after job provider in the market. 0/10 would not recommend to join here. There are better ways to sabotage your own career, don't consider this one as an option....Read More

Leaders give you liberty to take the decision and full openess to discuss the technical solutions for betterment of product.
Sometimes the work life is impacted , since the workforce is little so everyone occupied with multiple tasks. Resourcing should be managed, and not just including the contractors or vendors.
It's was to hectic and most of the time we need to give extended hours to support during US hours.

Employees & staff are supportive, flexible work start timing.
In our team, technology stack is old, legacy. No plan for employee's growth and upliftment. Offshore senior people will not give you enough visibility and will not be given your due credit. Work assignment does not happen as per work experience and expertise. Technical senior people will not be involved while any decision making andmgm peole will take technical decisions. This is kind of very common issues, happening quite often. Product team does not have clear vision, they will start on something, after some time, that thing will go on hold and something else will start, this is very common. Not able to decommission older applications since ages, they haven't been able to execute their transition plan to stut down legacy apps. As an employee, we encounter lot of issues that hampers our productivity, starting from our laptops/machines with low configuration to build process, list will go on....Read More

I liked the work and people around who made the work environment great
Joined WU because of its brand value but the CEOs is not focused on companies development by extending the business, his major focus is cut the benefits of employees, cut the hike percentage and save money as every penny counts for him.

Good Team
All the problems are of employees and no problem of Leadership. For last 3 years post leadership change, our share value has decreased, growth has happened only to bit extent , good product leaders with vision were taken off, even new ones are removed. India HR is for supporting leadership but not sure if they ever tried checking what is real reasons for exits and how can we improve overall synergy....Read More

Western Union has been one of the best companies I have ever worked in. Great culture, super transparent leaders, great work-life balance, great compensation and unmatched insurance benefits. If you ever get to work here, there is no reason whatsoever to let go the WU opportunity.

The company offers global exposure and great culture. The appraisals are generally decent
THere are periodic rounds of firings due to cost cutting/restructing. So there's always a sense of uncertainity. Also the career growth plan is very obnoxious. There is not clarity around it. Your manager has limited control on your future growth.
