Pros

Overall great staff and management. The work environment is really laid-back and colleagues are friendly and super supportive. Really good work life balance.

Cons

Salary was a bit lower than market but it was offset by a good benefits and generous annual leave package. Some incompetent colleagues were kept on too long and never let go.

Pros

First and foremost, the people were fantastic, especially the China crew. I still keep in touch with my former colleagues at CET and I miss many of them! Secondly, the work life balance was phenomenal. I had so much PTO that it allowed me to travel all over the world. I was allowed to get off work at 4:30 unless something urgent was happening and I definitely took advantage of that! Finally, I loved how much room I was given to grow and try new things. I started multiple new initiatives at my program in Beijing, which I felt headquarters really supported. CET gave me so much room to express creativity and leave my own mark on the program.

Cons

On the large scale, what CET really needs is to improve its internal communications infrastructure. CET is witnessing growing pains at it has become a mid-sized company but still holds on to certain small company practices. Aside from that, the only con is that as CET is not a very large company, there weren't as many opportunities to transfer to different departments or roles as I had hoped. But as CET is always expanding, I have confidence more and more positions will open up.

Pros

The management and all coworkers are smart, very supportive, enthusiastic people. The benefits are good (housing allowance, plentiful vacation time, health insurance). The work/life balance is fantastic. You can choose to only do your immediate job or take on greater company-wide challenges if you place yourself correctly. You can be honest and open with the management and coworkers. The nature of the job demands many different types of competencies, shaping you into a very well-rounded person. You can spend your time in the office or out of the office and to a large extent plan your own schedule. I can imagine very few jobs that give you as much flexibility and allow for as much creativity as this one.

Cons

Opportunities for promotion come only once in a great while. Some clients can be a pain to work with. Uninspired and jaded students can sometimes dampen your enthusiasm for the work.
