      Pros

      The company offers a flexible hybrid work model with remote options on certain days, which helps employees balance personal and professional commitments. Generous vacation allowances, along with travel perks, contribute to time for rest and exploration. Working hours are generally reasonable, with limited overtime expectations. The culture is supportive and values employee well-being, making it easier to manage both work responsibilities and personal life. Opportunities to travel for work are well-planned, ensuring that balance is maintained.

      Cons

      The company has a tendency to make roles redundant quite often, which can create uncertainty for employees. This lack of long-term job security may affect confidence and stability, especially for those seeking a steady career path.

      Glad to hear you are enjoying your time with EF in the London office—8 years is a long time! It’s great to know that work life balance has been a highlight of your experience here. We also appreciate you sharing your perspective on job security. We understand that restructuring can create uncertainty, and these decisions are never taken lightly. While EF, like many global organizations, occasionally needs to adapt parts of the business, these moments have not been frequent over the 60 years we have been around, and are approached with care. Thank you again for being part of the team and for sharing your feedback!
