Pros
- Professional environment: Collaborative atmosphere with high-caliber colleagues and a dynamic, active student body. - Professional development: Free access to international certification programs (Coursera). - Flexibility: Highly flexible teaching schedule.
Cons
- Leadership-driven motivation: The morale of the department is heavily dictated by the Head of Department’s (HoD) vision. - With an enthusiastic and visionary HoD, the workload is intense—expect frequent late-night or weekend meetings—but the experience is incredibly fulfilling. - On the other hand, if the HoD is hands-off or lacks engagement, the work becomes repetitive and stagnant. This not only hinders professional growth but also causes students to miss out on updated curricula and practical insights as the teachers’ "inner fire" gradually fades.
