Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Over the past year, our organisation has gone through a period of significant change, including restructuring to better align with the needs of our clients and teams. We appreciate that transitions of this nature can be challenging, and we recognise that not all changes will be experienced in the same way by everyone. We are committed to fostering an open and collaborative working environment, and we actively encourage feedback from our team. Many of the developments implemented over the past year have been shaped by employee input, and we continue to review how we can improve both communication and support across the business. We take comments around resources, management style, and employee engagement seriously, and these remain ongoing areas of focus for us. We wish you all the best for the future.

Pros

career growth opportunities - i started as a casual trainer, then pedagogical manager, then moved into commercial management side of the business. international - our clients come from around the world, they are all interesting business men and women from multi-nationals to SMEs, C-levels to junior employees. And the odd celebrity too. The opportunity to contribute to an evolving future - our business is continually changing, with an increased focus on technology and e-training. You can help to shape our future. Flexible / reasonable working hours plus the opportunity to work remotely Great office locations (part of a network of 17 offices in Europe) in major European cities Ongoing INSET and promoting life long learning Superb colleagues, many of whom have been working with Linguarama for a number of years

Cons

For London, salary is modest and could be improved
