Pros

Many of the people are great to work with, and the benefits are fantastic—like working for an old blue-chip company rather than a nonprofit.

Cons

Management is inconsistent. There is an "in-crowd" who never gets in trouble, and there is an out-crowd that gets cleaned out for the new restructuring fad. Rules change all the time, and the whole racket seems to just support upper management's income.

College Board Response

Thank you for sharing your experience on working at College Board. We strive to create a fair, supportive, and equitable environment for all employees. We recognize that management plays a major part in that and we hold them to a high bar especially for taking accountability for their actions. We'll be certain to share your feedback with our leadership.
