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.

Pros

There are plenty of employees who pour their hearts into this mission.

Cons

There’s an acute difference between being an incompatible coworker and a crappy person. Ellucian is led by some people (no names) who need to learn how to be a freaking human. The manipulation, deceit, rage, selfishness, and lack of self awareness were traits exhibited by these folks regularly, if not daily. It’s not hard to choose respect over ego. You can have conviction and not ruin peoples’ weeks at the same time. The sky isn’t falling.
