Pros

Great team selling environment: Some of the account managers are very talented and provide great support to sales people in both selling and developing/maintaining relationships. Very international co-workers and client base. Good team building and fun at annual sales kick off.

Cons

Not much training provided in some cases. Some holes in management, particularly middle manager level. Working with time zones all over the world can be stressful and make it hard to get a good night's sleep.

Pros

Flexible working condition. If you work in sales/customer facing role, you can literally work anywhere you want as long as you're connected at your schedule as long as you get the job done. Each year there's a Sales kick off meeting, where virtually everybody working in client facing role is invited to attend this week long event.

Cons

Where should I start? With the recent completion of the Pearson acquisition, the original GlobalEnglish leadership team is pretty much all gone. The new leadership team still doesn't seem to fully understand the market and the business and come up with the right strategies, and they have been doing a very poor job of communicating with all levels of the company about their vision and plan. Product line up & Go-to-Marketing strategy are weak. Pricing strategy is unrealistic to the market and competitions. Employee morale is low, and pretty much every month you hear a long time employee leaving the company.

Pros

Great coworkers who really love the product and helping customers. Solid product, enjoyed by the customers and actually helped as advertised. Great customer community aspects and strong corporate learning tool set. A great tool for global companies to bridge communication gaps. Great direct management for my position.

Cons

At the time change management was an area that needed a great deal of work. Management was aware however and working on the issues. A lopsided management team that was not always cohesive in decision making, which caused pain points to lower tier management and the rest of the team.
