Pros

The College Board is a great organization to be a part of. Besides my co-workers, the mission is truly the reason why I work here. I love knowing I'm making an impact on a larger level! - Amazing Benefits - Great Company Culture - Beautiful Office

Cons

I think the biggest con I've seen from my time working here is that people are quick to throw you under the bus to protect themselves. There is no structure/order to how certain things are done and often it does get a little frustrating. It also is a little frustrating that some employees are stuck in their way of doing things and aren't really open to new innovative ideas to improve some of the underlying issues in the organization. Although, it was a while back, it would have also been nice to have a mentor to really show me the ropes. I had to figure everything out myself and sometimes it took a while to hear back from those that I was asking for help. All in all, the positives truly outweigh the negatives for me.

We appreciate your note and candor. While generosity is one of our core competencies, we know that at a big organization with nearly over 1,800 employees, we can always do better to work collaboratively and to support one another. We’ve also made some recent changes to our onboarding processes. We hope those changes help our new colleagues feel more plugged in and connected from the start. –- Karl D’Souza

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
