Fearful for staff well being

Pros

A few staff members who offer support or at least a sympathetic ear when you have to deal with the disgusting and backstabbing nature of many of the senior members of staff.

Cons

The number of staff that have had to leave this company because they were treated so terribly is appalling. The person employed in all the instances that I know of were extremely capable and valued members of the team that were bullied, humiliated and made to feel worthless. There is a continuing pattern in the EMEA region specifically and HR do nothing about the people responsible for this damaging behavior. Actually, they promote them instead! There is a shocking culture of just ignoring the issues or worst, they blame the victim and make out that the roles are too stressful and the person was not up to it. Absolute nonsense! I am ashamed to be associated with such an organisation and sincerely do not know how HR sleep at night, knowing full well what goes on. Ellucian is damaging to your health and well being.

Pros

Change is a part of transformation and it has presented new opportunities for growth in my career at Ellucian. Our talent is top notch and our mission is rewarding. The innovation of our technology and empowerment to achieve outcomes from our leadership is outstanding.

Cons

Balance can be difficult at times but leaders are flexible and reward the extra mile when demonstrated.

Pros

I think it speaks volumes when you've worked for a company 20 years... I started with Ellucian (which was known as Systems & Computer Technology back when I started) right out of college. I was hired on as a Lotus Notes Administrator and was both nervous and excited at the same time. Jump forward 20+ years later I'm happy to say that I am still excited about the work I do here at Ellucian. I'm definitely not bored!! One thing that has helped sustain my time and to foster my success with Ellucian are the managers I've been privileged to work for... Not only have they challenged me over the years to help me grow, but they have fostered my ever so evolving strong work ethic and always reminding me to push myself and to think outside of the box which helps to ensure that I'm working and tapping into my full potential. Having good solid leadership is key and Ellucian has solid leaders in place. I am so inspired by our current CEO Laura Ipsen. She's amazing and she has clearly articulated her future vision for Ellucian which I'm very excited to be a part of!! Other pros about Ellucian is our diverse workforce, our products and services, and quite simply the fact that we're in the business of Education and ensuring that schools have innovative and cutting-edge tools which will help ensure the success of their matriculated students!! That makes me so proud to be part of a company that is committed to making a difference.

Cons

When I 1st started working for Ellucian, my department was definitely white male dominated, which I would identify as a con. Over the years I've seen more women and more women being promoted and/or hired on to serve in key leadership roles across all facets of the company. In addition, I now see more diversity in the faces of the employees that walk the halls. This is great to see!!
