401K Matches 25%, 15-24 days of vacation based on time at the company. Travel for free as staff on a tour with our clients

Generous vacation and opportunity for free tours every two years. Health insurance and parental leave improved for 2019, and health plan now has infertility and transgender health care coverage. However, WFH is discouraged or non-existent even in non-sales roles. Very "butt in seats" mentality. Also coffee should be free.

The main (arguably) benefit to working at EF is the constant pumping employees with alcohol. Lots of free alcohol or encouragement to go to the company bar at the end the day. Awesome at first if you are fresh out of college & looking for a party atmosphere with little pay or career development. Vacation and sick time off the definitely the best benefit, but most places offer the same.

Worked as a freelancer so no included benefits other than freedom

Incredibly generous. Significantly more than your average US company, probably because the company was founded in Europe.
