Avis des employés pour EF Education First - Zürich, ZH

I worked with EF Education First in Zurich for three years. During that time I learned a lot. Sadly, not enough as it related to my career advancement and more about myself and how much mistreatment and bad management I'm willing to put up with before I move on to another company. Compensation was terribly low, management wasn't ever trained, there was almost no accountability in any of the departments I worked regularly with. On occasion, you'd find a department that did things well and there were so many amazing people in every team, but unfortunately, your success really came down to the product president and management from the top down. The hardest part of the job was definitely that feeling of inconsistency, the high turnover rate, and an ever-changing vision. The best part was meeting amazing people from all over the world and the opportunities you'd get to travel. I also just have to add that in my opinion, the way layoffs were handled around the covid-19 pandemic was especially cruel.

Points positifs

Nice people, international workplace, interesting events

Points négatifs

Poor management, nepotism, unprofessional behavior from people in positions of power, changing vision, lack of quality in the products and services offered

Toxic environment

Great if you are a young single workaholic with a (false) hope to work your way up the ladder

Flights Coordinator (ancien employé) - Zürich, ZH - 2 mai 2020

Incompetent management treating employees like children. Voluntary partying, going out and drinking outside work feel compulsory. Useless business trips to the other side of the world just to get drunk. If you're young, single and with no commitments outside work you'll like it, job offers a lot of social interaction and travel. If you have a family you'll hate it.

Dynamisches, internationales Arbeitsumfeld

office Coordinator (employé actuel) - Zürich, ZH - 14 janvier 2017

EF Education First Ltd ist ein Unternehmen mit flacher Hierarchie. Die Interaktion und das Miteinander der einzelnen Teams und Departments in Zürich untereinander ebenso wie mit Kollegen aus den Büros weltweit ist beinahe familiär, das Arbeitsklima und die Firmendynamik sind extrem angenehm und schaffen eine fast familiäre Atmosphäre, welche zu einer einheitlichen und aktiv gelebten Corporate Identity führt. Innerhalb des Unternehmens ist es relativ einfach, das Department zu wechseln, man muss allerdings auch offen für "von oben" festgelegte Veränderungen, Umzüge und neue Jobpositionen sein. Das Gehalt bei EF ist eher am unteren Mittelfeld angesiedelt. Dies ist oft der Hintergrund für Wechsel zu anderen Arbeitgebern.

Points positifs

Kolegen und Offices weltweit

Points négatifs
