Has potential, but on the edge of the cliff.

Pros

Great vision and ideas. Serves a greater good (higher ed). Good people for the most part. Lots of women in leadership.

Cons

RIFs, RIFs, RIFs. If job security is not important to you - Go for it! However, if you hate wondering who's going next then stop - don't work for them. In the Pros I mentioned that they have a great vision and ideas - Execution on those ideas is the problem. RIFs are done to balance the budget and they RIF tenured employees to save money. Professional services is a mess as is Cloud - it seems they just don't know what they're doing. The bright spot in Ellucian is the Technology Management Division - "they do-be-say" what the rest of the company gives lip service to.

Pros

Purpose (being a part of helping students and colleges/universities succeed), schedule flexibility/work location flexibility, co-workers (smart, friendly, helpful)

Cons

Still in the midst of an organizational transformation; if you want a 'status quo' environment, this may not be the place for you; if you want to be a part of enabling higher ed transformation-- this is a great place to work
