Free apartment and activities, but poor management and low pay - Resident Advisor EF Education First Employee Review

Fun place to work at. Lots of opportunities especially early on in a career.

Sometimes salary is not as competitive as other places in Boston area.

Opportunities to travel as part of the job, with expenses covered and no PTO required unless you choose to extend your trip. The people are friendly and approachable at all levels, and there’s strong representation of women in leadership—up to a certain point. The company also hosts fun summits and social events.

The salary is far too low to live in Boston. The trips are also overpriced relative to the value customers receive. The company emphasizes perks and benefits as a “total package,” but it often feels like a way to distract from below-market pay. There’s little focus on retaining strong talent, turnover seems accepted, with a preference for replacing experienced employees with recent graduates willing to accept lower salaries.
