Pros

Many of the negative reviews for this company are sour grapes from very old employees that were recently let go. This company is a good place to work although not the best. This company used to have very generous benefits when they were public but after they went private naturally cost cutting measures have meant cut backs on benefits to bring it inline with the rest of the industry. Those who complain are the ones who are upset because of those cut backs. They were necessary to ensure long term viability of the company. The benefits are still competitive but not top notch. They offer a very flexible work schedule often letting their employees telecommute from home. More recently they are trying transition back to the office model of work. Their technology is good and they are continually improving it. Contrary to what people say here Workday is not really a threat to this company. Workday has been burning through their cash pile and have yet to turn a profit. They also cannot offer as complete a product suite as Ellucian can.

Cons

Company is struggling to change its corporate culture to be more nimble and respond to customer needs. Some employees notably the old guard are resisting but it will happen anyway. They don't spend much on formal training for new employees. They expect you to learn it mostly on the job and this can be frustrating.
