Pros

Ellucian offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to work/life balance and gives employees the chance to grow by presenting a variety of career paths/options. Ellucian has gotten away from traditional annual performance reviews based on scores/ratings and gone to a series of regular meetings with management that focuses on growth and reflection. The emotional paycheck of working within Higher Education is felt across the organization and offers a sense of personal satisfaction. Ellucian does care about giving back to the community which is shown in a variety of ways including community days and charitable leave offered to all employees.

Cons

The organization has grown and there has been a lot of change at all levels and silos across the company has continued to be a struggle. Progress has been made to break down silos but continues to be a focus.

Pros

Salary, some colleagues, home working

Cons

No work life balance as it is a global company that expects you to work when they need, not when you are contracted, so 70-80 hour weeks instead of the 37.5 on the contract. Added to this they don’t have enough staff so the need is constant. I get over 100 emails a day whilst also on back-to-back meetings for 8 hours. The execs rarely listen or treat you with respect. R&D for Banner is particularly bad. PS works on the American model so you do 70 hour weeks normally. CS don’t get listened to, customers don’t get listened to. They talk the talk of wanting to be a good company to work for, but a few execs spoil it for the rest.
