Pros

The British Council does some very inspirational work across the world The breadth of programmes and offer is astounding People actually believe they are changing the world Pension scheme is very good

Cons

Almost impossible to get any work done due to bureaucracy Very hierarchical Poor communication Zero motivation from all staff The guy at the top of organisation only gets in touch about cakes on birthdays
