Pros

This company's long-standing mission to advance quality and equity in education by providing fair and valid assessments, research and related services stood the test of time for decades. There is deep respect in the industry for our evidence-centered design.

Cons

Recent leadership shifts have de-valued the contributions of long-time staff, and brought into question the continued adherence to our stated mission.

Pros

ETS was once a great place to work for. In my tenure here, I have met some of the most talented individuals. Interaction with such talented people had allowed me to grow professionally and personally. Many friendships were forged here and will remain long after I leave.

Cons

To reiterate what most reviews state, recent leadership evolution over last two years has been most dramatic transformation, and not in a good way. New CEO, Amit, is not exactly a transparent guy. He surrounded himself with a bunch of talkers just like him who manage up well, but have no clue about what to do with the products. These people are inexperienced, and in many instances straight up liars. They are unable to deliver, so they surround themselves with a bunch of other high paid incompetent individuals to deliver results for them. Needless to say, those highly paid individuals lack the skills they need too. At one point, there was a new AVP hired almost daily. Amit created a culture of smoke, and this culture is prospering within ETS. Everything is going to India, and more jobs to follow next year. VSP packages were only the beginning. There is no growth in products at ETS, so the trend of cutting costs and outsourcing will continue. CFO does not care about anything or anyone, and CIO is unwilling to stand up for the IT organization. There are no more truth tellers left in the organization. Where is Kurt Landgraf?
