Pros

Remote work flexibility and nice workmates, but that's all.

Cons

- There are very limited opportunities for professional growth. You can work hard for years and still not move forward. Recognition is minimal and seems to depend entirely on business needs. Promotions often go to the same people who are already in senior positions. - The benefits are poor. - You also can’t rely on annual salary increases, since sometimes they simply don’t happen. This means you can remain on the same salary indefinitely while still being regularly evaluated on your performance, evaluations that ultimately provide little value to employees. The people making decisions do not seem to have a clear direction or long-term vision, which creates a disorganized company structure.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share this. We're glad remote flexibility and your colleagues have been meaningful parts of working at Lingoda. The concerns you've raised, around career growth, recognition, compensation, and strategic direction are ones we take seriously. Employees who work hard deserve to see that reflected in their development and rewards, and we hear you that this hasn't felt consistent enough. We are actively working to make our professional growth and performance processes more clear and meaningful, and to improve how we communicate direction across the organisation. If you have further remarks or suggestions, we encourage you to connect with your HR Business Partner directly. Your feedback matters and helps us set the right priorities for the future.

Pros

Loved the students, the materials, and the flexible scheduling.

Cons

The pay was lower than average for industry standards. Unless constantly monitoring your calendar, it could be challenging to pick up enough classes on your schedule.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience hasn’t aligned with your previous expectations. We recognize that changes in class availability can be challenging. Because our class offerings are guided by student demand, the number of open classes may vary. For this reason, we approach hiring thoughtfully and continually monitor the balance between teacher availability and student interest to support fair and consistent access to teaching opportunities. Thank you for sharing your perspective on compensation. We recognize its importance and consistently review our pay model to ensure equity and competitiveness. Feedback like yours is very valuable as we work to improve the experience for our teachers. Thank you again for offering your perspective and for the dedication you bring to your students.
