Grin and Bear It - Anonymous employee EF (Education First) Employee Review

Where to begin? 1. If you get travel as a perk, it is a lie that you’ll receive it after year one. Plenty of employees don’t get it until the 1.5 / 2 year mark. 2. The pay is terrible, especially if you have to pay $20/day for parking. I heard that EF likes to hire women because they’re more exploitable and a lot of them have partners that are the “real” breadwinners. 3. In order to excel in whatever product at EF, you need to put in at least 45 hours a week. No way around it, no way to grow without that, and growth isn’t given until an average of a 3 year mark with the company. So not unless you’re willing to spend 3 years grinning and bearing the monotonous grunt work, this place isn’t worth it. The toxic positivity creeps up fast unless you drink the proverbial Koolaid (and drink beer with the higher ups on tap Thursdays) and kiss up.
