Pros

- THE APP!! Busuu is an exciting app that always develops and improves constantly through customer feedback and innovative ideas. All of us work here because we care about the product. - THE OFFICE!! Breakfast and snacks will brighten up your day. Beanbags to chill and relax or work on and a fusball table make our days seem super short and enjoyable. Also lots of lunch options around Shoreditch/Old Street, perfect for team lunches, dinners or drinks. - TEAM!! The team is young, fun and highly professional! We go on fun trips together and do exciting activities on a regular basis. It doesn't feel like work, but like a project you're working on with your friends! Personality counts just as much as skills. And as the team is still fairly small, you'll find that you really get to know your colleagues. - OTHER PERKS!! We do a lot of fun stuff outside of work, and besides private healthcare there are other options except the great pay that awaits employees

Cons

I have not experienced any downsides yet, neither heard of any. If you work hard, are yourself and care about the product, everybody else cares just as much about you.

Pros

- The new management is very nice and understanding. - I've noticed that even when I provide all the necessary information when canceling a lesson, they still have to repeat steps, likely due to company policy. - The only reason I stay is because I absolutely love my students. - It can be challenging to find a job without a degree in the TEFL industry

Cons

-Asked for a raise, completely ignored me. -Very difficult to cancel lessons. -Don't know how well you're doing as a teacher so you're in constant "competition" with other teachers to keep your position. -I've heard that they can fire you without any notice or reason. -Changed policy that you can only do 25 hours per week
