Not Bad

Pros

Amazing people and great travel experience. This will vary a lot depending on your location. The staff around you and the way your building is managed will make all the difference and it will vary tremendously from office to office. I had the luxury of an amazing Boss.

Cons

Can be isolating depending on your language skills. If you teach adults, the pay is lower and your expenses to get there are not covered. They come out of your pocket. If you aren't used to traveling, there will be culture adjustment to get over.

Pros

I cannot think of any.

Cons

Majority of IT department had been laid off on August 2018, without any proper explanation. Bad management. It was a very bad experience on my side as a former employee.

Great opportunity to showcase skills in Chinese and Russian, particularly in writing.

Thank you for your post. We are happy to hear that you were able to showcase your language skills while at EF. We are sorry to hear that work-life balance expectations didn’t align. Director level positions in any large organization can be demanding and often require frequent travel which we do make clear when hiring for such positions.
