Pros

Good employees, reasonably good culture but focuses mostly on token cultural things that resonate within the woke higher ed industry. Profess to being different, it's as vanilla as it gets.

Cons

Horribly career path training and advancement opportunities. In recent years there has been a fascination with outside hires who know very little about the industry and just don't have the skill to do the job for which they are hired. Several token VPs remain in the company, diluting any attempts at a clear, effective strategy to move forward. Way too many cooks in the kitchen Product strategy is a constant moving target and is driven largely by the wishes of ignorant sales leadership. We have a sales team that was built for the 1990's and when cornered revert back to old product strategy. They don't understand SaaS technology

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.
