RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Ellucian full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Combined with a brand new, amazing HQ and great changes at the senior exec level, Ellucian is putting itself on the map as a top tech company in the DC area. It's an exciting time to be here.
The team I'm on (Marketing) feels like a family and people really do care about the work we do and each other. A rare but wonderful situation.Cons
Are there some "stale" folks here who seem to be phoning it in? Yes, but that's been the case everywhere else I've worked too.

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Ellucian full-time
Pros
Great company. Forward thinking. Very satisfying working in higher education. Co workers are wonderful. Benefits are good (but not great). The work is challenging and rewarding.
Cons
No career advancement. Promotions are very rare and difficult to come by. Raises are small. If you join, be prepared to stay in the same position. Rather than being promoted, you will just be required to take on more work. They do not promote from within.
Advice to Management
Look at your existing talent for new positions. Promote from within if you want to keep the good people you have. It's good for the company, the team, and employee moral.

I have been working at Ellucian full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Efficient
Great communication
Expectations I could expect were clearly set and followed
Friendly and welcoming
Professional
Well staffed
On-boarding portal well laid out and intuitive
Pre-employment training portal setup to lead new hire without confusion
Expectations for first couple weeks of employment are clear and leave little question.Cons
Nothing negative to report. This experience exceeded expectations set by previous employers. HR concerned most concerned about my comfortable transition rather than their own time expense.
Advice to Management
Keep it up! Love the support and response time. Shows staff is well prepared, knowledgeable and not over extended.

Pros
Flexibility to work remotely and great professional development opportunities. Wonderful clients.
Cons
Upper management needs to rein in lower mgmt expectations; salaried consultants pushed beyond capacity; work/life balance non-existent.
Advice to Management
Listen to your frontline people and follow through. Many employees working 7 days a week with no compensation and frustration runs high.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Ellucian full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Good people to work with for the most part. Established products in Higher Education space which for the most part are well liked by customers. Competitive benefits and salary.
Cons
Many organizational changes. Multiple products that are similar (due to mergers, etc). They have many projects in the pipeline for which they have under estimated the time, effort, and costs associated. Smaller remote offices feel cut off from company culture and resources.
