Pros

They pay is competitive and the benefits are great. The NY office has a nice view and good coffee.

Cons

There is little to no respect for experience. There is little to no support given for huge projects. Leadership is either hands off, or negative and demeaning. There are no leaders that I encountered that empowered their employees. In fact, the opposite would occur. Respected values seemed to all be negative in nature (throwing people under the bus, disrespecting others, superficial assets, etc.) The energy at the College Board is on of "dog-eat-dog" - don't be enticed by the money, it's not worth it.

We appreciate your feedback. Respectful teamwork is a hallmark of our employees; we also expect that managers and leaders focus on enabling their teams to do their best work and inspiring great work by their teams. We hope all employees provide constructive input as opposed to negative feedback, that employees are engaged in their work and have no tolerance for disrespect in our organization. --Holly Strychowski

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.
