Pros

The people they hire are fantastic, there's no doubt about that. It's a fun, interesting place to work especially for a first job out of college. Having a bar in the building is a great place to network. What the company is all about - providing affordable global opportunities for students is inspirational and really exciting to be a part of. There are also many different departments so lateral moves between products are common.

Cons

The company most definitely lacks in professional development and any kind of upward growth. Within ET Sales, I have seen only a small handful people be promoted in years, instead they've been hiring from the outside instead of promoting internally. It's also expected that with some of the travel opportunities and great benefits - the salary is simply not competitive.

Pros

Great benefits including lots of vacation time and travel opportunities, enjoyable work environment, lots of opportunities to try different positions.

Cons

It's hard to move up in your industry if you find a job that you like. EF in Boston is mainly a sales and customer service center so if you are an operational employee, you often feel like you are at the bottom of the totem pole.
