Pros

I get to work remotely, which is helpful to keep out distractions.

Cons

Inexperienced management, cronyism, high turnover. Management doesn't really seem to value talent or intelligence. They want drones. The performance management process isn't taken seriously at all.

Pros

When I first started working at Ellucian, I was underpaid and the meetings seemed endless. Fortunately, both issues were addressed and now the Agile meetings are at a reasonable amount and my bosses pushed for higher pay in order to keep talent around. As far as development goes, most of what I do involves developing on top of Dynamics CRM. This makes things a lot easier but at the same time does provide challenges since the backend is clearly defined. There still is a lot of room for development though as there are plenty of features which require complex coding. The pay and benefits are excellent.

Cons

The upper managers seem to say yes to every customer request without consulting the Tech leads first. If you manage an eCRM team, you have to make a lot of hard choices that seem to be unnecessary and largely inflicted by the upper echelons of management. The top executives seem to be pushing for a more streamlined approach to release with emphasis on SaaS, but appear to be largely unconcerned with getting the details right. So it's a bumpy, slow process.
