College Board reviews

Very incompetent leadership. No upward mobility for non-executives. Leadership does not know how to take care of their teams. Weird mix of academics and pseudo-business types.

The work is pretty tedious and silo-ed. There is limited opportunity for growth. The organization gets sub-par employee engagement results year-over-year with little change. The organization is top heavy and hierarchical. I have never seen decision making power and autonomy rolled up at such a high level. You have to be an ED or above to really feel empowered. Even many Senior Directors have almost no ownership/power/autonomy and few if any direct reports. If you are at a point in your career where you are looking for flexibility and a relatively low-key job (which relatively high industry salary/benefits) where you are checking the box and working in a directive environment...and where you don't have any desire to be in a decision making place or even have visibility into decision making...this could work for you. If you are hungry to learn, take on more leadership, grow a team, sit on a leadership team...this is probably not a good fit.
