2015年，我从美国康奈尔大学硕士毕业后回国，有幸通过校招加入银联国际，开启职业生涯。

作为运营支持的一员，我所负责的业务遍布全球各地。在项目实施过程中，需与多方展开合作，涉及的领域跨度广、内容深，共事的伙伴来自不同国家，不同种族。日常工作既是不断解决问题的过程，也是团队和个人发现问题、反思问题的过程，更是整个企业学习和进步的过程。

学习型企业，离不开学习型理念和学习型人才。在银联国际，各种形式的培训学习丰富多彩。业务培训有线上网络课堂和线下专题讲座；技术培训涉及行业核心科技的方方面面；条线培训为全球员工提供了面对面学习的机会；workshop等研讨会搭建了业务各方沟通交流的平台；职场技能培训是员工提升自我素养的机会。在善于学习的公司和一群乐于学习的人共事，内心是充盈且幸福的。

业务的拓展，精神的进取，都离不开银联国际颇具感染力的企业文化。在这里，归属感来自于点滴细节的人文关怀，来自于民主开放的大家庭氛围；在这里，荣誉感来自于每一次团队合作的体验，来自于为共同目标奋力拼抢的瞬间；在这里，责任感来自于各项公益活动的投入，来自于企业对全球合作方的认真态度。

很庆幸银联国际选择了我，更庆幸我选择了银联国际。因为在这里工作的每一天，都愈加深刻地感受到岗位的职责意义，感受到自身的成长变化，感受到企业满满的正能量与不断发展的潜力。

2016年初，在完成了在伦敦政治经济学院的学业及英国政府智库的工作后，我作为一名应届生来到银联国际。

进公司后，与想象中国企老派的氛围不同，迎接我们这一批新人的，是一群同样年轻并且有活力的同事们。在他们的帮助下，我迅速的适应了公司的环境，并且真心地喜欢上了这个地方。

作为银联国际第一批校招员工，公司对我们的遴选要求很高。能通过层层面试固然是一件艰难的事情，但当真正进来后就会发现，与你一起走到最后进入公司的，都是海内外名校的毕业生，都是各专业领域最为优秀的同龄人。而相似的教育背景也会让我们很容易的找到共同语言，成为挚友。

除了融洽的公司环境之外，银联国际也为我们提供了广阔的发展空间。随着我们走向世界的脚步越来越快，我们要面对的，是全球最为强大、发展最为迅速的竞争对手；要开拓的，是全球最为复杂、最具挑战性的海外市场；要打造的，是全球最为开放、最为宏大的支付网络体系。尽管交易额已经成为世界第一，但我们并不固步自封。在这里，我们有不弱于互联网企业的创新能力和为年轻人提供的发展机会，感受到了一个立足本土，面向全球的企业为我们带来的荣誉感和归属感。

新一届的校招即将开始，期待你的加入！

从2010年8月份至今，我已在银联国际工作了6年，用一位同事的话说，就是把最美好的青春都贡献给了银联。每逢回想起来，时光如矢，我和银联国际共同经历的是一场全球范围内的支付变革，像是马拉松一样，大家跑地很艰辛，很带劲。这么多年的相伴让我对这个企业充满感情，有得有失，有希望有失望，难以割舍的是一份创业般披荆斩棘的激情，和征战般激流勇进的情怀。

银联国际所处的是全球支付产业的中心，和我们一起角逐的是Visa，万事达卡、Alipay、ApplePay等狠角色，相信为任何一家工作都是你我值得骄傲的事情。而他能给你的是一份能够拿掉对手的激情和快感。刚加入银联时，我们的交易量全球第三，而现在我们的交易量是全球第一，我没有理由不相信若干年后我们还是全球第一。

银联国际的国企标签令人垂涎，但我们是一个真正的跨国企业，直面的是全球顶尖企业的竞争和绞杀。如果想找个安稳度日的好去处，建议不要来，银行跳槽来的同事都说，以前比这可舒服多了。银联国际只有几百人的员工，和我们竞争对手的一个研发团队差不多。每个员工都需要快速学习各种技能，具备独挡N面，以一敌百的业务素质。获益最多的是我们自己。

6年来，我已跟随银联的脚步走遍了20几个国家。每当在境外看到具有后现代怀旧风格的银联三色标插满大地时，心里总怀有一份80后独有的民族自豪感，这是这份职业带给我最珍贵的感触。5年的磨练给予我自信、沉着、和对这份事业的无限希望。

“虽然没有硝烟弥漫的战场，但我们还是开疆扩土的战士”！

My story begins as a student in Beijing studying Chinese Law at Tsinghua University. I quickly fell in love with China as a country, the people, and the energy of the big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. After a brief employment at a large bank in America, my home country, I came to Shanghai to work for UnionPay International as Legal Counsel. On an average day I might work on a contract with a major bank in Hong Kong, negotiate with central banks in southeast Asia, analyze regulatory issues in the United States, and have a concerfernce call with colleagues from the Middle East. The work here is broad, diversified, and impactful. As an employee of UnionPay International, you will get exposure to a growing industry, a global outlook, and gain skills that will benefit you in this interconnected and technologically oriented world.

As an American working in a Chinese global company I may have a different perspective than most people working in the Headquarters in Shanghai. Compared to other large Western companies, UnionPay International will expect a lot from you if you are a new employee by providing you much more responsibility and influence than you would otherwise have in most global organizations. Your thoughts matter here and management is always willing to listen to make this a better place to work; this is not always true for new hires in global companies.

What do you want out of a career? This is a question that everyone asks themselves at some point and could determine, to a large extent, the majority of your life. It is so important to pick a career and employer that is exciting, growth-oriented, and dynamic. I can say without a doubt that UnionPay International is the best employer I have ever had and one of the most fulfilling and satisfying careers that I could have imagined --- I hope one day you feel the same as me.

Taking up employment with the largest card association in the world was easily the best career decision that I have ever made. Having worked in the card industry for 25 years and switching to UPI was simply a breath of fresh air. Since day one I was struck by the positive energy of the organisation and faced with a culture of individuals who was actively looking for reasons to do business.

Obstacles are seen as challenges and leadership always encourages us to explore different approaches to solve them by applying lateral thinking. This “can do” culture is simply priceless given the size of our organisation. I guess UPI has managed to retain a small company feel, where individual voices are still heard, notwithstanding the fact that it is the largest global card association. Our opinions are taken into consideration and at the end of the day this translates to job satisfaction, in that one feels valued, knowing that our inputs made a difference in being part of the world’s fastest growing payments network.

A further positive aspect of the organisation is the diversity that one encounters in UPI. Although the DNA of the organisation is Chinese, a multitude of cultures and diversity will be found in the organisation, which again supports the flexibility of the organisation in adapting our product and servicing offerings to the market.

In closing if you would like to be involved in one of the biggest and fastest corporate growth stories in the world, UPI is the place for you!

我自2007年离开北大以后就加入到中国银联国际部，并很快被派驻海外。派驻东南亚市场的第一年，市场逼着自己要迅速学习，了解市场拓展的方法、公司的业务流程及各种内部及外部的沟通技巧，并促使自己迅速成长为可以独当一面的市场拓展人员。之后，我被派往美国洛杉矶、旧金山和纽约等地，轮换过商户拓展、机构拓展及市场营销等多个岗位。目前，我在银联美洲代表处负责美国西部的市场营销工作。

银联作为中国目前唯一的银行卡品牌在走向国际的道路上面临很多的机遇和挑战。为了应对支付行业的迅速发展及国际市场的多样化需求，我们需要不断学习新兴产品、市场规则，并接触新的合作机构，建立新型的合作模式。在银联的九年里，我从没有一天觉得无聊，总有新的东西等着我去学习、探索。如果你也希望跟上支付行业日新月异的发展步伐，愿意体验“学无止境”的人生，欢迎加入银联国际的大家庭！
