Pros

Retirement benefits Vacation Days Non Profit/Feel Good Mission

Cons

I was so excited to be offered a position at The College Board and I could not be more shocked by the disengagement of employees, the antiquated approach to work, technology, and life balance, and the amount of rude managers that are on staff. My ED will literally roll her eyes at you if she disagrees with someone point. WHAT! They are very focused on the hours you put in and the face time you make which is ridiculous in a world that has opportunities for flex time, telecommuting, web based applications, and other resources.

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.
