Pros

Diverse areas of work and lots of opportunities to try out different roles. There are three broad areas of work: English and Exams, Education and Society and Arts and Culture.

Cons

The industry is challenging at the moment so opportunities for growth are limited. Bottlenecks in decision making and lack of information sharing at corporate level makes it very difficult to work. Technology and tools are cumbersome so collabaorative working is very difficult.
