      - Friendly and approachable colleagues and staff - Opportunity to progress in your career or switch to a similar roles, but in a different department or location

      Cons

      - Worked Sundays (Sunday to Thursday) due to Sunday check-ins from the students at the residence and the hours weren't the best - 10:00 - 19:00. - Pay was fairly low for London standards

      Pros

      I've been with EF for a while now and recently relocated to the Budapest office. The transition has been incredibly smooth, especially as an international expat. The support from the company throughout the relocation process was top-notch. So far, everything has been great. The team here is super helpful and collaborative. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and take on different responsibilities, which has really helped me grow professionally. The open office layout fosters a strong sense of community. There are no silos, and everyone is approachable and willing to help. Pros: - Exposure to a truly global company - Opportunities to collaborate across departments and roles - Supportive colleagues and a great team culture - Excellent office facilities and work environment - Smooth relocation process for expats

      Cons

      The work pace can be quite demanding at times. But that’s part of the EF spirit and what makes it exciting

      Pros

      People, management, travel, benefits, office culture!

      Cons

      Lack of organization. Roles aren’t clear & bonuses aren’t solely based off your work. If someone doesn’t do their work, you lose out on a significant amount of bonus.
