Pros

- The vision is meaningful (we are teaching languages to millions around the world!) and the product is getting better every day - The company is growing extremely fast - the team has more than doubled in size since I have joined - Awesome team spirit and very talented colleagues - everyone is working extremely hard to make things happen. We have quarterly team events, hackdays and last year we even went to Crete on holidays together - The company is investing in my personal growth (you get yearly learning budgets and can go to conferences) and I am learning A LOT as a professional. OKRs are related to your personal development. - Amazing new offices - probably best roof top terrace in town overlooking Finsbury Square :-)

Cons

- You have to work hard (also sometimes longer hours) and the management and rest of the team have very high expectations - but hey, that's why people love it here! - If you don't perform, the management is relatively strict in people not passing probation or making changes. Again, I rather see the positives of this.

Pros

- The new management is very nice and understanding. - I've noticed that even when I provide all the necessary information when canceling a lesson, they still have to repeat steps, likely due to company policy. - The only reason I stay is because I absolutely love my students. - It can be challenging to find a job without a degree in the TEFL industry

Cons

-Asked for a raise, completely ignored me. -Very difficult to cancel lessons. -Don't know how well you're doing as a teacher so you're in constant "competition" with other teachers to keep your position. -I've heard that they can fire you without any notice or reason. -Changed policy that you can only do 25 hours per week
