Pros
Beautiful campus; hybrid or remote work arrangement
Cons
This organization continues to try to sell the "ETS" name, but this absolutely not the same research based, quality first, mission driven organization it was before, All the top 3 levels of leadership have been replaced with new people and almost 100% of them had no previous education or assessment industry experience, all are cronies of some new leaders, and none of them cares about maintaining the values of this once great institution. All C-suite leaders care about is marketing themselves on LinkedIn and spending ETS monies traveling the world to build their own careers and pad their resumes. CEO and all new leaders talk continuously about AI but they know nothing about how it works, have no real strategy and invest nothing in building skills or capabilities. All caring and knowledgeable employees are being laid off and jobs are being offshored. CEO wants 90% of ETS to be in India, including core research, assessment development, AI and Tech roles, for reasons that are still unclear to everyone. Offshoring ETS is not something he talks about externally. ETS has been good to me for my time here, so I'm not being bitter, just extremely sad to see a once fantastic institution go down the drain like this.
