Pros

My feelings about College Board have changed with the new leadership but previously it was a good place for technology. The re-organization is sidelining the best leaders.

Cons

The recent leadership reorganization has led to a less diverse team, raising some concerns. Additionally, there’s been a noticeable shift in how successful, revenue-generating projects are being perceived, with increased oversight and a micromanagement approach. This has impacted the morale of the high-performing team that drove these successes, creating challenges in maintaining the same level of performance, especially after their contributions were not fully recognized.
