Pros
I had a great experience working at EF Shanghai. - The benefits and pay are competitive, including a round trip ticket home and housing benefits (if you're an expat). - Amazing perks: offsite travels, fun happy hours & parties, breakfasts, flexible working hours, insurance plan, great office building & location, etc. - There is a nice culture of respect, equality and kindness. Yes there are cliques and politics but I have seen many other companies that are much worse. - It also offers cross cultural working environment with really smart people from all around the world. Quite inspiring to work with such a broad mix of talents and backgrounds.
Cons
- Big company but low brand awareness worldwide: after I left China I tried to move to a different industry, but since EF was not very known in my home country, my experience was not valued as much. - While the company tries every effort to retain talents, most expats (including myself) see China a temporary stop in their life, causing high turnover with foreign employees.
