Rising tech co in DC area

Pros

Combined with a brand new, amazing HQ and great changes at the senior exec level, Ellucian is putting itself on the map as a top tech company in the DC area. It's an exciting time to be here. The team I'm on (Marketing) feels like a family and people really do care about the work we do and each other. A rare but wonderful situation.

Cons

Are there some "stale" folks here who seem to be phoning it in? Yes, but that's been the case everywhere else I've worked too.

Pros

Professional atmosphere, serious products. Excellent infrastructure. Benefits go beyond what is minimally required by the law. Savings plan, grocery card, if you wish you can find stability here. Work/Life balance is pretty decent. Talented and highly educated IT and sales personnel.

Cons

Old technology stack. Nepotism: a relative of a manager was hired for the translation department, despite the fact that the relative didn't even know basic English or basic computer skills. Disregard for innovation and latest trends. The translation/localization department in Puebla lacks leadership, which reflects in the questionable quality of the translated/localized products. When I was hired, I was "conditioned" to receive a lower salary because I didn't have college education. Limited growth opportunities. You can just be "translator junior" or "translator senior", which is the same really.

Pros

Nice new office, some dedicated employees, and decent benefits.

Cons

Very cliquey! Promotions given to those who least deserve them. Some departments seem really happy while others lack the leadership to make their teams great. Some managers yell a lot and/or are bullies who want things their way only and do not want to listen to the team. In these teams the environment becomes toxic.
