Pros

Nice campus, good benefits, work-life balance

Cons

I can't stress enough how detrimental Data Analysis is for someone's career at ETS. For a college graduate, it may be good for about a year or two, take advantage of SAS courses they may offer, and get out. Do not stay there for longer than that, because there is nowhere to go. They recruit intelligent college graduates since their starting pay is pretty competitive. However, once you are there for a couple of years, you begin to see that there isn't room for growth. The salary becomes stagnant, and there is a ceiling. Management is completely disorganized. They have a quota as to how many employees can be at certain levels, and there is no rhyme or reason as to who they would promote. Basically if your manager is buddies with you, they may choose to try and push you to next level. Politics at it's finest. Even if you are promoted, the salary increase is a complete joke. This line is so job specific that you really don't obtain skills transferable to outside of that realm. If you are there, learn SAS programming and get out. If you are interested in working your way up within a company and obtaining skills that translate, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Easy work, nice campus, good benefits

Cons

Very little room for advancement. You can work there for 10 years and be making 10k more than when you started. I can only speak to the statistical analysis line (there are a numerous amount of departments that are probably different), but it's a toxic work environment. Very political, coworkers and managers tend to act high schoolish and gossip about other employees. There is quota as to how many of a certain level each test program can have. Therefore, promotions (which are rare) are not work based. However, if you kiss up to the manager they may choose to fight for you. If you don't join in on acting like a high school kid and talk poorly about others, the other employees and managers will eventually talk about you and try to impede your career. It's a very poor environment. Extremely high turnover in this line.
