Pros

The pros with working for EF is the combination of the big corporation and the entrepreneurial spirit. In my experience colleagues and managers wants you to grow and are appreciative of new ideas and ways of working. Another pro is the diversity, which makes the office environment dynamic and fun

Cons

The lack of structure at times has both pros and cons, but I mostly see it as a con because it often causes confusion and delays in decision making

The combination of our entrepreneurial spirit and the scale of a global company make EF a unique and exciting place to work. Openness to new ideas and collaborating with diverse teams are things we work hard to cultivate and it's wonderful to hear these are aligning with your experience as a Senior Financial Analyst. On clear communication and change management, these are things we continue to think carefully about in our approach and growth across products. Thank you for your commitment to the team and your thoughtful reflection.

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
