Waste of tax payers money - Recruitment British Council Employee Review

Pros

Handing in my notice and leaving the office at 5pm

Cons

Far too many to list here. Managers are incompetent, racist undertones, discriminate, particularly HR. Nepotism abound. Favouritism, brown nosing. Spending far too much of the tax payers money on rubbish. Such as the extensive art collection they own, priced over £50 million. The horse sculpture outside the premises cost £500k alone. Of our money! What a joke. The list is endless.
