Pros

HR department tries their best to boost morale with a holiday luncheon including really nice raffle prizes.

Cons

Where to begin? Travel abroad would be a nice perk if advance notice is ever given! I was told 3 times that I would be traveling to SE Asia with less than a week's notice. I was also expected to front all expenses myself... with my own credit card. It always took several months to be reimbursed (after lengthy paperwork). I was expected to flirt with executive chefs. In fact, I was taken aside once because I decided to read a magazine for part of a lengthy flight instead of constantly engaging with the chef (who was drunk the entire time). I was uncomfortable with escorting the chef to the red light district and was also given a "talk to" about this. This is a visa mill. These poor students pay thousands of dollars to wait tables. Employees are treated just as horribly. Please know that all of these reviews are honest and true.

Do NOT Work Here

Pros

There are some very cool and interesting people that work here and who care about the mission of cultural exchange.

Cons

The crux of the issue is that upper management and the owner could not care less about the employees or the participants of their programs - this place is a visa mill. This leads to extremely low pay, high turnover, and low morale. There is not even really much you can get out of working here that you can add to your resume and since leaving the company, I've spoken to several professionals in SF who have told me about negative experiences or impressions they have had in relation to Intrax. I honestly wish I hadn't wasted valuable time working here and believe that having Intrax on my resume has negatively impacted my subsequent job searches. Don't waste your time!

Pros

The people and the mission.

Cons

As one previous reviewer stated, I would think twice about working for this company. I worked here for many years and can say with a certain degree of authority that it's highly dysfunctional—undoubtedly the worst company I have ever worked for. The people are great for sure, but good talent is wasted. People are seen as a cheap commodity, and are not rewarded monetarily or otherwise, so the good ones eventually move on. Overall the morale is exceptionally low as a result. Upper management (above Director level) have no clear guidance or direction, and even good managers have no power to fight for positive change. They don't have any say in how their departments are run, budgeted, etc. The founder rules with an iron fist, which is bad enough, but his business acumen is also poor, so the company and employees suffer as a result. Layoffs are part of daily life. The company thrives on cheap, entry level employees without a thought for how the high turnover and bad morale affects business. The pay is extremely low for the Bay Area and has not kept up with the times, so they are having difficulty attracting good talent. If you are thinking about working for this company, I would strongly recommend you do not. Just look at the other reviews on here. There are plenty of entry level jobs that pay better in SF, especially in the tech industry, and they aren't dead end. Trust me. Don't work for this company and you will be happier for your decision in the end.
