Pros

1. If you just want a way to get the money at the end of the month with not doing any real work. 2. Good if you are in for office politics. 3. Best for the people who only wants to servive someway or other in a company which has recognition as an IT company but wants nothing technical from you but the laymen stuff, which a kid from primary school can perform with much ease. 4. Work life balance depends on the project otherwise it could have been better.

Cons

1. Not good for people who wants to learn and give the quality work and stay updated with the current technology, in short for most of the people. 2. Managers do not manage anything, they rely on office politics to make their judgement about the employee which makes their work easy and create toxic environment for others. 3. Projects are not good, so even though one wants to implement the learning or upskill, nothing is avialable which can give the satisfaction that you are not wasting your time here. 4. Particularly not good for mid-serior level employees. 5. The quantity and quality of your work does not matter as the formula for hike is No. of people/budget. Now you know where remaining goes. 6. High mismatch in hiring and work expections/roles, mostly because as already stated above Not Good Projects. 7. No bonus.

Pros

Ellucian had some genuinely brilliant people. I mean real talent. Smart engineers, sharp support people who could look at a broken system and somehow see both the problem and the political disaster hiding behind it. A lot of people there cared deeply about higher ed. They understood that colleges and universities are not just “customers.” They are institutions trying to keep students moving, faculty supported, and operations alive with systems that often looked held together by duct tape, PLSQL scripts, and institutional trauma.

Cons

Then there was the C-suite. Every company has executives. That’s normal. But this group often felt less like corporate stewards and more like LinkedIn influencers who accidentally wandered into an ERP company. They seemed distant. Aloof. Not deeply engaged with the actual work, the clients, or the people carrying the weight. There was a lot of executive polish, a lot of corporate language, a lot of “vision,” but not always the kind of grounded leadership that makes employees say, “I trust these people with the future of the company.” At times, it felt like the people closest to the customers understood the business better than the people paid the most to lead it.
