Business Outlook

Pros

Many opportunities, with a lot of positions being remote. Many positions available in the Technology Management area to work on a college campus, functioning like you're part of the college, though with Ellucian benefits.

Cons

Working on it, but need to improve internal career development. Can be difficult to determine which positions are appropriate level compared to your own, depending on which division you're in.

Business Outlook

Pros

Many positions are remote, so you don't need to be near an 'office'. A lot of employee engagement groups formed and the information for improvement is being taken seriously. The flagship product is undergoing a transformation using cutting edge technology.

Cons

Many remote positions require a ton of travel, or require knowledge of one of the heritage company's tech. Sometimes too specific for lateral career moves.

Pros

Ellucian has been evolving for the better over the past year that I have been here. A lot of new Executive management that is bringing the business forward in a positive way. Overall the workforce is a great group of people and I would recommend working here.

Cons

The Fairfax office setup makes it hard to get to know other co-workers. There are new programs being put in place to help with getting to know each other but it is difficult due to the workforce being spread all over the world.
