Pros

Competetive salary, easy life style and great benefits

Cons

the college board functions by having 1-3 people in a department working very hard managing the day-to-day operations and then having the rest of team work on "special" intitatives, projects and campaigns that really do not accomplish much. This is a place where you walk into the departments and instantly can tell real work is not being done. Its very common not to hear a phone ring or even hear typing for an hour on an entire floor - all you hear is mouse clicks.

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.
