Pros

I did one year contract at the British Council and enjoyed every minute of it. The people are great, they are friendly and highly motivated and enthusiastic. The management listen to you and are happy to take onboard ideas for improvement.

Cons

Not always easy to get the right people together when you need them for quick decision making, as the heads of departments travel globally frequently and not always accessible directly.
