Pros

Often, several opportunities to branch out in your role. If you work in a regional hub this will increase further. Very interesting projects to get involved in. Fantastic opportunities to travel to other countries.

Cons

Transitioning from a charity to a business. The human capital structure isn't there yet, although restructuring is happening. There are rules on the number of years you can spend in a country which means there's often a lot of coming and going as people move into position, change everything and then move on. Salary is good overseas (in some regions) and as teacher you can be looked after very well (accommodation, flights and great BUPA healthcare) but not great in the UK.
