Pros

Good work/life balance and ability to live abroad. The company is big and there are options to move up; however, the managers are not very good at conveying this to staff.

Cons

Bad pay and worse management. Given the relatively weak state of the Russian economy and the rouble one would expect pay to have been improved.

Thank you for the review, your opinion is a great source for us to develop and continue to improve. It's true that EF is a very large company with a number of opportunities for everybody independent of one’s country. Despite the economic downturn over the last year, EF in Russia does ensure our teachers are always paid on time and have strong job security. Since November 2014 we have also provided a compensation for international teachers to leverage the growing exchange rate burden. We do care about our staff, and teachers are, undoubtedly, at the heart of our business. Over the years EF has developed a set of global Core Values to maintain one standard approach to our work and employees. Additionally, our Recruitment and Development team deliver training sessions to managers on a regular basis. If you believe someone has not treated you fairly, please, get in touch and let us know. Feedback is of great importance for us to grow further and avoid mistakes in future.

Pros

The freedom to work at home and the students.

Cons

The money is great when you have students. They aren't transparent about anything because I feel like they are downsizing and they are not telling their teachers.
