      Pros

      * Nice international atmosphere; * EF wants to be a family;

      Cons

      * Bad payment. It doesn't allow you to provide for a your family; * Too many Swedes (on key positions) in offices outside Sweden. This makes you think you are being discriminated if you are not Swedish; * Far too many unqualified junior 'managers'; * Most people stay only for 1-3 years. Even in my 'short' period at EF I have seen lots of people come and go;

      Pros

      Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

      Cons

      Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
