They have so many schools in less well known countries that it's hard to make general statements about them. I interviewed for a school in Azerbaijan (?) but they could not accommodate our son's learning differences.
Some of the smaller schools almost sound like missions with the teaching couple wearing many, many hats and being on their own amongst the locals. Bigger schools I'm sure have more of a true international school feel. Just ask a lot of questions about the school and job you are specifically going for.
