Pros

Good work-life balance in my experience. Good opportunities for lateral movements.Overall a fairly relaxed place to work.

Cons

Low salaries in most cases, and even compared to other British Council offices in other parts of the world; public service rigidities. Very little investment in staff - marketable training is almost non-existent. Big danger you'll be branded as public sector if you spend any significant amount of time here.
