      Paradise for problem-solvers

      Business analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are huge opportunities for analysts and developers. Since EF is a traditionally sales- and relationship-focused company, there's lots of room to optimize, deploy new technology, and create new processes. I've learned a ton and been given far more responsibility than I would at most companies.

      Cons

      The company can be resistant to change. EF (at least in Boston) is usually not an innovator in product or technology -- I would describe my division's strategy as "don't rock the boat." Sometimes I feel that the culture values Getting Along over making tough choices to grow the business.

      Good start as a frist job in tourism

      Area manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - motivated young crowd, very international friendly and helpfull - responsability from day one with decision power (within certain framework) - great office with lake view - high learining curve and great negotiation training

      Cons

      - there is no real HR department, employee development happens only on the job other than that it s up to your own organisation - also difficult to change from one product to another e.e from incoming tours to au pair or highschool year

      Lifestyle Company - Mission, People, Perks

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you connect to EF's mission, and are mission driven - it will be a good fit. The people are awesome. The office is beautiful and the location is great. The benefits and perks exceed norms. Working on programs related to international study/travel, language programs, and exchange is fun. I would guess that it is easier to connect with and experience what your work is at EF more so than in some other industries or products/services.

      Cons

      You have to pay your dues and really excel in your role to move "up." That being said it's a pretty flat organization. Some people can't handle the peaks and valleys of the work year. When it's slow, it's slow, when it's busy, it's demanding. Regarding compensation - you give up a fat salary to work at a lifestyle company.
