      Good "package", poor leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Initial salary and vacation was good if not generous. Worker-level folks were easy to work with and pleasant. Seems like there was some party, picnic, get together every other day, food at every meeting, etc. With a monopoly on SAT revenue, there was no chance the company was going to run out of money or have to be stingy/spend responsibly.

      Cons

      CEO/Leadership was nuts. Layoffs were terribly handled ignoring people's skill sets or what the company had invested in staff to date or what the company's future needs would be. CEO convinced me he was not trustworthy or technically competent. He has honorable goals, but no real credible means of achieving them or actually leading a large organization. Many things he said/did caused a rational person to question his judgment. Raises for stellar performance was in the 2% range for most of the workforce. Bonuses (which could easily be int he $10-$25K range) were more based on politics than performance. For workers, where you start could well be the position you retire from (if you're not sucker-punched with a random layoff). Industry best practices in technology, program management and other disciplines were ignored in favor of the random pet technologies/methodologies of a few of the cowboy buddies the CEO brought in.

      Pros

      College Board is a great organization to work for. The people were great and very helpful. The organization has great retirement benefits.

      Cons

      Room to move up the ladder can be limited. Promotions usually come from the higher level positions
