Perfect Work/Life balance!
Apr 6, 2021 - Systems Analyst Intern in Princeton, NJRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
As an intern in the department that I worked, there is lots of flexibility to chose your specialization. You get to learn a lot on the job and work with a lot of knowledgable people.Definitely had a very good work/life balance!
Cons
Very small career growth or advancement to next level
- Current Employee★★★★★
ETS is a comfortable intellectual assembly line.
Aug 20, 2008 - Assessment Specialist II in Princeton, NJRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good work / life balance - reasonable hours Interesting and very intelligent co-workers Better than being an adjunct (in terms of pay, time spent working, and self-respect) Paid hours (6, I think) for each employee for community service--company commitment to service

Stingy vacation / personal time policies (2 weeks to start for everyone, 7 personal days which are to be used as sick days but can't be banked), no sick time Little respect for test development work by senior management or by people in areas of the company outside of the test development area Little communication between different departments Company is trying to transition from sleepy academic enclave to more "corporate" style but seems incompetent at many aspects of being "run like a business." Repetitive work - intellectual factory line Extremely egomaniacal CEO

Salaries at ETS are not competitive with salaries of other companies. Employees who do very poor work are tolerated. In our team one employee cannot handle the simplest tasks yet he has been working at ETS for 20 years. This is only one example in our department.
