Pros

Good benefits, great co-workers, remote work for many positions.

Cons

Blackstone/Vista took over and the company became focused only on profits and margins and not on customers or employees. You are a disposable resource to them and they are currently replacing all employees with off-shore positions because the margins are higher for off shore workers. They are getting rid of people with 20-30 years of experience, so the quality of support is crashing. Those who still work there all know that their days are numbered.

We couldn't agree with you more on the quality of our benefits, the flexibility we provide, & most importantly our awesome people! One of the things that makes Ellucian so special is the depth and breadth of the expertise that we’re able to bring to higher education institutions ~ which is enabled by the experiences and history that our employees bring to work every day. We’re so appreciative of the hard work and dedication of our global teams – including those individuals and leaders who have dedicated decades of their careers to transforming higher education and helping enabling student success. Over the last three years, our partnership with Blackstone and Vista have been accelerants to enabling so much transformation throughout the organization, which has resulted in greater impact on the products we build, the institutions we support, and our vibrant & inclusive culture, as evidenced by our engagement survey results for the last two consecutive years of more than 90% participation with 83% engagement ~ which are all times highs in both participation & engagement for our company.

Pros

I got to work with some really smart, talented people

Cons

Management does not care about the employees. Bad behavior at the highest level is tolerated and therefore encouraged. Think twice and ask a lot of questions before considering working at Ellucian.

We are sorry to hear that is your impression. It could not be further from the truth. We have a people-first culture built on respect and we do not tolerate bad behavior. If a manager, or anyone doesn’t live the values that are important to the company we deal with that swiftly, directly, and firmly. Fortunately, the need for intervention to remedy such issues is rare. We pride ourselves on our culture which is one of our strengths in attracting and retaining top talent.
