      Pros

      Has industry leadership status, several new products and a global footprint, profitability and it's fairly competitive with salaries and benefits, so all the basics are there. A great and helpful IT help desk.

      Cons

      Companies are run by people, and Ellucian's people have some unfortunate traits: doing things only in their own interest, launching products that aren't ready just to meet a deadline, talking about how they live corporate values but not acting on them, perceiving initiative as a threat, rejecting input. The on boarding process left me with more questions than answers.

      Looking for work due to troubling C-Level leadership

      Pros

      Some great people. Many employees very committed to the work and their customers. If you are low enough in the organization and in one of the one or two most functional departments, you might have a positive work experience.

      Cons

      Incompetent and narcissistic CEO who is more concerned about his own personal media coverage than running a successful company. He has brought in mediocre talent from his past roles who jump when he says jump and repeat the same tired cliches he uses ("a successful business is like a car going around a corner with three tires squealing" - really). Many layoffs in the past year at the most senior levels in the company and the most respected, credible leaders appear to be the ones being let go. It is believed through the coffee stand conversations that the CEO and his leadership team are threatened by any real leadership or capability in the company. Current leadership decisions do not leave any confidence or sense of future for the rest of us. There are a couple of senior leaders who are capable and demonstrate integrity, but given the volatile and abusive behavior of the CEO, we wonder how long they will last.

      Pros

      Great work environment. There are so many awesome people that work here that inspire me every day to be a better person! Education is a very good field to be in, because every day we are not only learning, but helping others to learn as well.

      Cons

      I can't really think of any cons, other than our office doesn't have a water gallon dispenser.
