Pros

EF is a young, dynamic company that believes in working hard and playing hard, and balancing hard work with a healthy, active life outside of work. Benefits are great: generous vacation, excellent health benefits, travel and language program discounts, and a great restaurant / bar in the building that is the place to be after work on a Friday. There is a strong organizational culture and plenty of buy - in to the culture by senior management, and a big part of that is entrepreneurial spirit. The most successful employees are those that do their jobs as if they owned the place.

Cons

There is definitely a salary trade-off for working in such a great culture: salaries are significantly lower here than they are elsewhere in the job market. Job hunters that have a strong need for personal space may be surprised by the open-concept office space, where very few have private offices and even the most private offices have glass walls looking out to large work areas.

Pros

Global and is easy to get in. Offers simple products which are simple to understand. Quickly you get in and work with many different aspect of the job. Good money for the right people. Traveling around the world is possible.

Cons

hierarchical and very secretive. People are shooting from the hip and called it initiatives. horrible working hours 80+ with no OT compensation. unstructured decision making process, and diverse workforce which would nt understand the importance of collaboration cross boundaries. unacceptable high turnover. many in the management level dont understand the relationship between direct and indirect cost. Forget clap on your shoulders..
