      Pros

      Great Benefits, best in the area. They even cover 60K in college tuition for 4 years for your kids, if they are in college. Work perks discounts. Great work life balance.

      Cons

      Some of the management has archaic way of thinking Progressive idea averse and risk averse (in some departments) They do re orgs without checking with the employees. Lands loyal employees in helpless situations. You may end up in a team or capability for which you don't have any skills or any aspirations.

      Thanks for the review; we’re proud to offer generous tuition support to help our staff and their families pursue their educations. Our management works to build a cohesive, strategic organization. Occasionally that means reorganizing teams to best align towards our goals – and our people towards their best work. If you would like to provide additional feedback directly to HR, please reach out to me at kdsouza@collegeboard.org -- Karl D'Souza
