Vantaggi

None apply here after their money ran out

Svantaggi

I left in March after it became obvious the place was falling to pieces. Those teachers that couldn't leave were told to figure out how to house and feed themselves while working full time unpaid. Remaining teachers were effectively held to ransom for their work permits to remain legal in Vietnam while working full time for no money. They're trying to recruit new people to replace the ones who ran for their lives. If you're reading this and considering joining Apax in 2020, 2021 or 2029 just know that they will use and abuse you. There are plenty of legitimate companies to work for in Vietnam but this is not one of them.

Thank you for your review. We're pleased to say that APAX lives on and application numbers are stronger than ever before. This is extremely encouraging given such a chaotic year we've all had. An employer of teachers from a diverse range of backgrounds from around the world, APAX continues to offer a beacon of hope where others are floundering - this alone can only describe why so many are applying to work with us in Vietnam. Moreover, teachers who worked with APAX years before are returning to the country which has arguably dealt best with the pandemic to join us once again. Hundreds have maintained perspective with fortitude, and soldiered on admirably through the dark times of 2020. It is these teachers APAX relies on to be the company it is and continues to be, in spite of the brewed negativity that can easily suffocate without the resilient attitude required to make it through.

Vantaggi

This is a great place to work for any person new to teaching. For those that have experience or are eager to gain more skills, there are a lot of opportunities for advancement. While Apax is not perfect, everyone continuously tries to make it a better place to work and improve themselves. There is a big focus on feedback and growth. As long as you stay open, you will gain a lot.

Svantaggi

I don't see this as a con, however, coming into this company, it's important to keep in mind that you will need to stay flexible. This was tough for me in the beginning. However I am incredibly grateful to have gained this from my experience with Apax.

Thanks for your feedback - we very much appreciate the positive vibes at such a chaotic and demoralising time for all! Let's hope we can get back to being the biggest and boldest English education company in Vietnam in 2021 once this pandemic fades a bit.

Vantaggi

No lesson prep. They have some shady connections with the government that allow them to get people in the country.

Svantaggi

They are months late on pay, the staff is generally incompetent on every level and lie constantly. You too most likely will contribute to that culture of inefficiency, as they will give you zero support and let you rot unaided. This means you'll have a hard time smiling while singing the "Hello Song."

Thank you for your feedback. To date (June 2021), there is no outstanding pay for teachers from 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. Almost all of April's salary payments have been paid out, and a portion of May is to be made imminently. If a staff member suffers hardship of any kind, s/he is strongly recommended to make contact with her/his manager immediately.
