Ellucian reviews

The review process changes every year. Management cares more about sales than the actual product, so R&D employees are neglected. I worked in one of the smaller offices and we heard about expensive events going on in other locations but ours was left to its own devices with little budget. Layoffs consistently happened twice a year and they let go of talented people without much explanation or warning -- seemed based on dollars and not the work. Remaining employees have to pick up the slack on the existing projects.

Lots of cons, unfortunately. I spent 10 years working for Ellucian and when I left I never received an exit interview. My manager never called to thank me for my years of service, in fact no one called me on my last day. No one explained the exiting process so I had to dig it out of HR. Management could care less when quality people leave. Very short sighted. It takes years to train technical people and Ellucian just lets them walk out the door. Policies and procedures are more important than people. I left for this reason. I also left for better pay (I received a 15% pay increase by leaving), better work environment, and a better company. Direct line managers are so swamped with other things that they never contact you but during evals they suddenly know everything about you. Upper management speaks the speak but doesn't walk the walk. They say we were doing great but our division was failing and no one would intervene. Sad experience but it paid the bills.
