Pros

Benefits, location (Reston Town Center)

Cons

Given the not for profit mission, strong revenue from the SAT and AP exams and benefits, College Board should have the best and brightest. It does not. There are solid people, but starting at the Executive Director level it goes down hill the higher you go up. It is all about protecting your peers, no measurement of results, failure is dismissed/covered up.

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.
