Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Ellucian
The interview process was pretty much as usual. First, a 10-minute conversational phone call was followed by a Zoom call with the team members, which was technical. There were no coding questions in the technical round, only theoretical and mostly react-based questions.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ellucian (New York, NY) in Feb 2023
I was contacted by the HR one month after I applied for the position. He asked me some basic questions regarding my previous job and the compensation I was expecting. I was told that I would be contacted the next week for the interview. However, I did not receive any further communication from them. There was no response to an email I sent requesting a response from them. Please show some respect and common courtesy to candidates even if you are not planning on hiring them.

Interviewer was clueless on the answer and was looking for specific answers. Especially the last round with manager was pathetic he is not a technical guy but acts as if he knows everything. Got to know they use legacy technology which have no scope in the outside world.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Ciudad de Mexico
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ellucian (Ciudad de Mexico) in Sep 2022
The interview was mostly technical even though the recruiter told me it was going to be more of a Cultural Fit type interview. The hiring manager gave me two problems (without coding) just to assess my reasoning. Then he asked me to solve a coding exercise, which was fairly easy. At the end he asked me if I had any questions, and I asked him if he considered any characteristic in me as a weakness and he told me that my English wasn’t that good, and that I shouldn’t have used a wireless headphones for the call, because according to him my audio was pretty bad and he barely understood me during the whole interview. But let me just say that he was using the cheapest wired earphones that you can buy, so maybe the problem wasn’t my English or my microphone quality but his crappy pair of earphones, I really don’t understand why he didn’t have a better ones and especially when you’re hiring new candidates who are not native English speakers. He was also a bit overbearing and intolerant, so even if I had passed the interview I wouldn’t like that guy to be my manager, that would be so unbearable. By the way, he also told me that I had done well in all the technical part. It's been a few weeks after the interview and the recruiter hasn't given me any news, I even sent her a message but she didn't respond. She has not had the politeness to tell me that I have been rejected, she was even a bit rude and inhuman in the selection interview. So beware comrades, this company presumes to be a great company with a great culture and ethics, but in reality it is nothing but the opposite.
