Pros

Benefits, location (Reston Town Center)

Cons

Given the not for profit mission, strong revenue from the SAT and AP exams and benefits, College Board should have the best and brightest. It does not. There are solid people, but starting at the Executive Director level it goes down hill the higher you go up. It is all about protecting your peers, no measurement of results, failure is dismissed/covered up.
