I have also always heard good things about EF English First. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about English First. I knew one of their managers Ivor Galea and he was one of the finest human beings I have ever known and somebody that anyone could be proud and happy to work for. He was actually the one who really helped me out integrate and starting my teaching carrier. Just the fact that they were smart enough to hire him showed me how on the ball English First is.
The difference probably between English First and a lot of other schools in and around Moscow is that they trust you and let you work on your own, without too much extra control. EF English First, Moscow seems to be a well-run school that seems to make reasonable decisions as opposed to these dysfunctional other schools that are run as though a bunch of morons or lunatics are running things.

I worked for EF English First, which is Moscow, based, for over 3 years. They have their faults, but I know quite a lot of people who have worked for them for many years (and are not loser types), and still remain enthusiastic about teaching, so the company can't be all bad. I think my friends' enthusiasm reflects positively on them rather than the company, I'd like to nominate EF English First Moscow as the best possible school to work for. Of course you might read various negative threads about the school, however, if you pay attention these are all submitted by the same person, most probably a competitor company or something. Just ask for evidence from the blogger via e-mail check if what it's written can be proved, otherwise you know.
