College Board Response

Thanks for the feedback on your time at College Board. We strive to create a positive, inclusive culture and make this a great place to work. We apologize for not meeting your expectations. We are committed to continuing to improve how we inspire and reward exceptional performance through a structured, transparent process.
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.
