      Pros

      After much consideration, the only positive aspect is the work-life balance. And that's really just an unintentional benefit as a result of too many inefficient processes so you have a lot of extra time on your hands while senior management wastes their time spinning on things and changing their minds repeatedly. In other words : you'll get lots of laundry done.

      Cons

      If there's anything we learned from our old pal Jack Dawson - there's just not enough room on that float for everyone. It's easy to be charmed by the illusion of a good brand, decent pay, and a handful of (fast diminishing) genuinely kind folks. However, once you settle in and remove your "Rose"-colored glasses (ok, last Titanic reference, but I hope you catch the drift this organization is quickly sinking) you'll discover this isn't a place you want to be. In fact, just peek under the surface and you'll realize it's extremely toxic and literally EVERYONE else wants to be as far away as possible. As referenced in the "pro" above, while the leaders are arguing over the decisions they already made, you'll have plenty of time to exhaustively search for valid ways to make an impact. Once you realize that's a futile plan as no one really cares about employees' ideas and opinions, your extra time will be consumed meeting with other miserable colleagues who are also planning an escape and navigating the best way to handle the constant backstabbing and negativity. So unless you're looking for a soul-sucking career guaranteed to make you become as incompetent as the management team, runnnnnn (or in this case swim - as fast as you possibly can)!!!

      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.
