Pros

I like its family culture, everyone is treated as a member of the whole family, to get support and caring from your bosses. And more important, EF allows you to make mistakes, very tolerant. Besides, there is no distance between you and others from other departments, as long as you can pick up the phone, you can reach anyone, even have a lunch talk with big boss. Then, I also like the beautiful office building in Shanghai, the most cool office I have ever seen in my life. The most important, I can always meet very talented people in different area working around me, positive, energetic, smart and friendly, very impressive. Talking to them is also good learning to me.

Cons

If the office can be much closer to my house, that would be great.

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
