Pros

I really love the mission of the College Board. I think that often times when employees are deep in the weeds of the work, it's difficult to remember that students are on the other side of the amazing work that everyone is committed to. The culture in the office was great- the people who work at the College Board alone is a reason to work there! Remote work has been a little different but the culture has stayed in tact for the most part.

Cons

A couple of things I've noticed- 1) the College Board operates like a collection of smaller companies. Each individual department runs the operation differently and with different leadership styles, largely divided up by product. This is good and bad because if you move departments, you get a fresh perspective and get to work on a completely different product. However the downside is lack of consistency. 2) the salaries start off really competitive when you first come to work there but they don't stay competitive.
