Berlitz always makes me think of Macdonalds
They are one of the 'fast foods' of the ESL industry...some may say they are successful at what they do, but not necesarily a place you would want to work for long term, if at all. |

Not the best employers. Not taken seriously by most people in the EFL game. A black mark on your cv if you are serious about a "career" in this "profession". |

Berlitz is run by M Al-A, the son of M Al-Z. M Al-Z runs Al Hekma International School and Gulf University in Bahrain. If Berlitz is run anything like Al Hekma, it's guaranteed to be a bad experience there.
Here's info on Al Hekma if you want a glimpse into the working life there
