EF Hangzhou has recently come under light for not paying tax to the Chinese government on behalf of it's teachers. Teachers in China are expected to pay up to 20% tax on their low EF Salary. However, EF Hangzhou has been caught on numerous occasions. They have been paying cash, without deductions. Other institutions are paying into your bank account like proper western companies.

Also watch out for the money lady in your EF. They have also been caught laundering money from your utilities. They have failed to reproduce any real bills of what your utilities are or how they are calculated. This has been apparent on numerous occasions. Moreover, they have the blatant cheek to do this, seeing as they never fix your apartment except for the minor touch ups that are done when someone new arrives. The door handles soon fall off the day after!

In effect, working for an organisation such as EF Hangzhou, you could indeed spend the majority of your time in a Chinese prison.
