Pros

College Board is engaging in some of the most important work, and continue to be leaders as far as education advocacy and innovation goes. Compensation for non-profit is one of the highest I've seen. Excellent time-off policies, and one of the best benefits package available.

Cons

Very poor in fostering sense of community amongst employees, and dangerously top-heavy. Weak leadership in some departments, and focus in too much "big picture" rather than staff development. Lack of visibility across the board, and very hierarchical.

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.
