Pros

- good benefits - mission is wonderful - most of the people who work at the College Board are good people who care about education. - stable (people stay at College Board for years - probably due to the great benefits)

Cons

- leadership is not aligned (no sense of a cohesive leadership team) - morale is terrible (employees complain constantly) - bureaucracy gets in the way of getting work done. Leaders are able to pull strings and get around the bureaucracy everyone else has to go through. - bad place for young professionals who are hungry for challenging and engaging work - this organization moves very slowly

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.
