Pros
The people - many of whom genuinely care about the students; most of whom are very helpful and working under great amounts of stress
Cons
Have a read of the reviews. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say the vast majority of positive reviews were written by HR plants, attempting to raise aggregate scores. The few genuinely positive reviews were probably written by middle-to-upper management. These deluded clowns are so far removed from daily goings-on, so out-of-touch with ground staff, ever-increasing workloads, and basic company processes, that it really doesn't surprise me that they'd leave a positive review of this place. For anyone still interested, read the reviews. They all say the same thing. Work environment and (blame) culture is mostly toxic: VERY gossipy and catty. You'll hear about an inevitable restructure (they have one every year under a different buzz term) while making toast in the kitchen. Rumors will spread until everyone is sweating bullets wondering if they'll be unemployed come Christmas. Meanwhile management are fully aware of the dissent and say absolutely nothing. They LOVE that level of anxiety in their employees. They see it as motivation. CEO might as well live on the moon, she's so far out of touch. Middle management conspire to serve their own egos, knifing each other, running project after project into the ground under the banner of inventiveness, all the while with no concern for ground staff where the actual work is done. The level of resentment and dissatisfaction on most campuses is scary. Look elsewhere for employment. This place probably won't even exist in another five years, the rate it's going.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Laureate Education full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great colleagues who do their best to support each other in a stressful environment. There are opportunities to work from home which gives you a break from the office.
Cons
Stressful and difficult environment to work in with limited resources. Too much to do, not enough time to do it and salaries do not match high expectations. The moment you walk through the door you can feel the stress and anxiety of colleagues who are doing their best with minimal support. The company has a poor work place culture and moves so fast that there is no sence of achievement or job satisfaction because you're already moving on to the next thing. To anyone considering employment at Laureate, please read the many negative reviews as they are an accurate reflection of the company.
