Pros

Some opportunities for international travel Some interesting projects in arts In som places younger generation of local colleagues Not much else really!!!

Cons

Very poor management led by UK staff who are mostly former english teachers and very poor managers. I have witnessed harrasment of various kinds such as bulling, discrimination, even sexually inapproprite comments towards younger and female colleagues Long hours Very limited opportunities to advance
