Teach Away Reviews

Pros

- International feel with offices/colleagues around the world - Well known reputation in the teacher recruitment industry which helps with outreach - We sell products that actually work and prospects see value in - A very clear mission and values which is evident in all product lines and the generally direction that the company is pulling into - Decent commission structure - Very good autonomy - Weekly company wide meetings - Most colleagues have a background in teaching/ed-tech/education/SAS -Strong marketing team that help draw in inbound leads - Fun culture - Product team always driving change and improving the product - Three core product lines with opportunities for cross-sell - Opportunities for travel (particularly 2023 and beyond) - Remote working policy - Recently the company was acquired by a holding company, which will add to career development opportunities and investment in product development/marketing.

Cons

- We do seem to have a higher staff turnover in some departments than you would expect for a medium sized company (75 employees), but this is an industry wide trend (particularly over the pandemic and thereafter). - Perhaps not a good fit for someone that cannot work independently; we have a remote working policy (UK team), but for me this is a positive

Pros

It’s a great place to get a start in your career. Since it is a smaller organization you can learn a lot. Many of the people who work there have a background in education and are super friendly and open.

Cons

Since it is a smaller organization there is limited career growth. Total compensation package isn’t super incentivizing/motivating.

Pros

It is an easy way to get into Hungary. They provide you with ample support in immigration and accommodation They provide a fair amount materials

Cons

The authority of the bilingual teacher is frequently questioned, and they are given limited recourse for discipling students Management often blames teachers for things beyond their control They are authoritarian in what they expect of teaching Upper level management is frequently rude and condescending They have not learned the lesson to never have a meeting when you can send an email. They have expanded too fast and are running the company in a way that would have worked when it was a third of the size but is clearly falling apart now.

Pros

Good people, great culture. Work life balance.

Cons

None that i can think of

Pros

Cons

- cheap culture - low salary

Pros

Not much. They're having big troubles.

Cons

The leadership. Old school. Micromanagement every time

Pros

The people who work here were overwhelmingly positive, friendly, and fun to hang out with during my time here. Extra-curricular events and activities were great. Depending on the program you work, you can truly feel like you are helping people achieve their dreams. The experience you gain here can assist your resume. Potential to travel for work depending on the position. Yearly stipend for full time employees towards Professional Development. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. I would recommend working here.

Cons

Limited potential for salary increases regardless of performance. Given that the company takes on lots of contracts with 3rd parties and not every program works out - mass layoffs occurred numerous times during my time here. Do not expect consistent year over year salary increases. As an employee, always be prepared for the fact you may be laid off (although this realistically applies for any start up company tbh).

Pros

Good college and good amenities

Cons

only Education but not into production of formulation.

Pros

Think of this job as a means to an end. If you are just looking to get some business experience and don’t really have aspirations of anything more; like progressing your career or earning more... certainly, work here. If you subscribe to the work hard, play hard mentality you can certainly earn yourself some free beers.

Cons

This company has no integrity. They value cheap labour over quality and talent. If you manage to stay over a year do not expect much in the way of a salary increase. There is a compensation package in place to keep expectations low, very low. It utilizes ambiguous language which is immeasurable: “Change the trajectory of the world” - get a $1000 bonus.. That is if you manage to stay.. The company has regular lay offs.. I’m talking several times a year.

Pros

- Flexibility - Project diversity - Team environment - Meaningful work - Work like balance - Good leaders

Cons

- Low salaries - Mediocre perks (if any) - Lots of layoffs - Micromanagement at times
