Pros

I have been with Ellucian for 5 weeks and of all the employers I have worked for Ellucian has the best onboarding process. My mentor meets with me weekly and more often if I am needed. I've been given the opportunity to shadow my mentor.

Cons

Ellucian is the process of restructuring services and building out a PMO. Starting in the mist of this transition has been a challenge but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Pros

Some of the smartest folks I've worked with. Committed to higher ed, and constantly driving to make things better for their customers and internally. CEO Laura Ipsen's clarity and vision is very encouraging. New products are best in class, and legacy products are quickly catching up. Lots of opportunities to take your career in different directions and try new things. Lots of kindness and empathy here. Remote work is supported where appropriate.

Cons

Last year's org changes created some churn, but that is settling down now. Work/life balance can be a challenge at times but if you advocate for yourself, management is very willing to listen and accommodate.
