Interviews at Ellucian are based on the behavioral model, with questions focused on describing real-life scenarios. Questions usually start with "can you tell me about a time when you dealt with a situation like..." and then the candidate is asked to describe a situation related with the role and explain how they dealt with it.

Numerous phone interviews, all were focused on my background and how I look at things. It was as much trying to be sure I was a fit with them as they were a fit with me. Overall, very appropriate and positive, although there were quite a few. Coordination happened quickly, so it wasn't too long in between conversations.

Talked to hiring manager (a VP), three other VPs, the SVP of the group, and then the team. Most of this was done over the phone or via video chat. A lot of the discussion focused on my skill set and leadership experience. Also had questions about my higher education experience and market knowledge.
