Pros

I haven't been there long but all of my experiences with Ellucian have been so much better then my experiences with the last two companies that I worked for, one I was there for over 10 years. I worked for government contracting companies most of my life and am so happy to have left them and joined Ellucian. I applied online, in less then a week the recruiter reached out to me to set up a phone interview. After my 30 minute phone interview, I was invited in to the Fairfax office to have an in person interview. The feel in the building was so inviting and all of the people that I met during my walk through were all in such good spirits. When I started in January all of my equipment, necessary accounts set up and supplies were ready for me to hit the floor running. My whole experience so far has been great and I am so grateful to have been brought on to work for such a great company.

Cons

I haven't had any yet.

Pros

I liked the actual work and never felt over worked. I had four managers during my time there and liked them all -- they seemed to care about me and the work and making sure I had the support I needed. Good work/life balance, and benefits. Generous severance package.

Cons

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.
