Pros

College Board has a good mission statement and a lot of talented staff.

Cons

Leader David Coleman makes all corporate events all about him. He uses exclusionary language that, unless raised in or knowledgeable about Judaism, don't make any sense. Tons of overtly religious rhetoric. it was truly shocking. I raised concerns anonymously and I know several others did, but nothing changed. No support for remote workers--you're on your own for materials and equipment. One of the higher ups would complain publicly about "reverse sexism" as if that were a thing. But the main drawback is that in 2021 they laid off 15% if the workforce and with more colleges not requiring the SAT, there are sure to be more.
