Where people leave because of dysfunction or stay because of complacenc

Pros

Very cool new office in Reston. An old company doing their best to be young, and by the looks of the space they are doing it well.

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen... they expect execution but do a poor job communicating expectations. Pay is not as competitive as they might have you think. 401K match is mediocre. Lots of turnover - good talent is not nurtured so they leave. I've never seen a company less inclined to promote from within.

Pros

Most employees are incredibly talented, helpful, and dedicated to the company's mission of driving student success. The vision of the company is noble and you feel like you are making a difference by being there.

Cons

The company is struggling financially and spends an unbalanced amount of time on cost containment vs. growth. I believe Ellucian is in survival mode and as a result is making decisions to solve short term problems that will harm the company in the long run.
