Pros

The interview rounds were easy and not a hassle. They typically group us on the interview and it is more of an introduction to the company more than it is an actual interview. So that was a plus for me.

Cons

Once you’re in, you have to learn from other teaches who have been there before you. Even with the implementation of new software or techniques, senior teachers are the ones training the new teachers and information might be diluted in the process.
