A Specific Type of Person Will Thrive Here - Anonymous employee EF (Education First) Employee Review

-Management. Poor management is a clear trend in these reviews--I wish I had paid more attention to them when I was interviewing. A lack of effective managers and management experience is my chief complaint. Management positions are filled internally when it doesn't even make sense. I am often in dismay at the lack of professionalism management exhibits or excuses here. I think they get away with a lot by mostly managing young, entry level post-grads. It's a strange power dynamic. -If diversity is important to you, this probably isn't the right workplace environment for you. On top of a lack of surface level diversity, the workforce is painfully homogeneous; it's a perfect example of a company that says they are always striving to increase diversity in hiring, yet somehow also seems to constantly prioritize the notion of "culture fit" without realizing their culture may be running counterintuitive to their goals to diversify the workforce. There are people who really care and put on incredible diversity events, but the participants are those who need diversity training least: mostly those who already identify within a minority group. -Lack of career direction or definition. Modest annual raises and no additional compensation opportunities. -No flexible work policy. At best, EF is way behind the times here. At worst, they don't trust their employees.
