1 Great Company + 1 Mediocre Company = 1 Lousy Big Company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and pay are OK. Middle managers care about their staff. Ability to work remotely.

Cons

Datatel was a great company to work for. Before the first buyout it was rated as one of the 50 best companies to work for in the DC area. After it went from a privately-owned company to being bought out by two different investment companies, it went from being employee centric to all about the bottom line. The merger with Sungard Higher Ed only made it worse. The current environment is all about getting as much work done with as few employees as possible. Everyone worries if they're next in the next round of layoffs. This has left overworked employees with low morale. Great employees are leaving as fast as they can find another job.

Pros

One of the few industries where you are able to feel good about what you do. Individuals are great, knowledgeable, and customer focused.

Cons

Office politics and old-boy/girl networks make it so hard/good work is not relevant to being promoted or assigned a good project. Some managers/leaders are indecisive, causing more problems.

Such a disappointment

Business Outlook

Pros

Since there are so few employees to do so much work, you can get experience with an incredible range of technologies and platforms if you are motivated. Higher education is an incredible industry and the clients are amazing.

Cons

Management is just awful. There is no other way to say it. There is no training provided, which is detrimental in the technology field. Development is stagnant, what little they do release is definitely not cutting edge.
