Pros
Well run company Great and passionate management Excellent benefits
Cons
Dealing with the social stigma of working at a standardized testing company
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
work, benefits, colleagues, culture, inclusion
Cons
none that I can recall
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
* Emphasis on developers thriving * Actively working to ensure they are using the latest technology stacks * Non-profit good feels (doing something meaningful and * Remote First Work for Technology Division
Cons
* Although these are decreasing, there are still vestiges and attitudes of the old way of doing things (older monolithic database centric world, etc). Some of the reviews about nepotism may have been true in the technology division in the past, especially in the old database world, but is seeming much less true today.

Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Nice people. Smart people. Care about the mission. Nice culture. Decent comp for a non profit.
Cons
The leadership team I was part of was very political - who you know meant everything and it was more style over substance. There was a high school clique feel at CB - a bit revenge of the nerds - and if you weren't a part of it, you weren't on anybody's radar. Very bureaucratic - over collaboration and CYA meetings that diluted accountability. And never forget it's a business despite all of the mission driven/family language you hear.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Demanding, lots of change, fast paced.
Cons
limited to no availability for growth
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
most people want to do right things. People are smart
Cons
standardized testing is a dying industry.
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Travel, remote work environment. Non management staff are amazing.
Cons
Severe micromanaging. Although on paper, growth is based on merits. Promotions and raises are completely based on friendships. Ultra top heavy. No manager has more than 3 reports. Pay has fallen way behind competition. Currently I can make 20-30% more for less hours elsewhere. Used to be a great place. Now widespread misery.

Pros
The benefits were outstanding at first.
Cons
Moves at a snail’s pace. Little to no room for advancement. Every org within the overall company operates as its own entity without much collaboration.
