      Outstanding benefits, great people... terrible work-life balance

      Pros

      Benefits cannot be beat: 3 weeks vacation to start, one additional week earned per year; fantastic medical, including domestic partnership benefits; maternal and paternal leave; travel discounts on flights, hotels, rentals cars People are great--I made lifelong friends there

      Cons

      Work-life balance is a joke. They encourage you to travel and have a life outside of work, but they understaff and overwork so that is not possible. Pay is garbage. They pay peanuts, and try to compensate for that by throwing frequent parties with free beer. There is a culture of mistreatment; people are disposable. I know more ex-EFers who have a passionate hatred for the company than those who like it. It's like an extension of college--lots of drinking, hooking up, and immature behavior. The company as a whole has a bad reputation for outrageous parties (i.e. people throwing up in restaurants, getting into fights).

      Great environment but you know you'd get more elsewhere

      Pros

      Great people, open working environment, really unique culture. A youthful dynamic in the main, which is attractive to many target hires.

      Cons

      Young culture can in fact be detrimental as the compensation model is targeted around that. Upper management is dominated by EF-ers, i.e. people who play the game and talk the talk.
