Ellucian Reviews

Pros

Investing heavily in the future, and developing/hiring the best talent.

Pros

You get to travel a lot, great training, great pay, nice new offices.

Advice to Management

Please look at employees who are trying to improve office and company culture. Do no just sweep them under the rug. With out these select few, the Lake Mary office would never hold a single event.

Pros

Product was going in right direction until forced method of delivery was started. Ellucian was trying to bring the products sold into an arena where they would be competitive but lost their vision. The only pros company had was the line of products and the employees that delivered them.

Advice to Management

Start listening to your clients. They built you, they can just as easily go somewhere else. (Colleague asked me specifically what Ellucian was doing because the east coast schools were moving to other competitors. Couldn't answer well, because when she asked, I no longer worked for the company.)

Pros

Learned a lot about tech

Advice to Management

Streamline management

Pros

I have been with Ellucian for 5 weeks and of all the employers I have worked for Ellucian has the best onboarding process. My mentor meets with me weekly and more often if I am needed. I've been given the opportunity to shadow my mentor.

Advice to Management

Be open to feedback from your new hires who are not in trenched in "we have always do it this way" mindset.

Pros

Ability to work remotely, competitive base salaries, good and fairly priced benefits, excellent lower level managers. Great place to start a career, gain experience for 3-5 years, then move on.

Advice to Management

Senior management need to review/remember their Maslow and realize that if you don't satisfy base needs nothing else can follow. Constantly repeating culture messages won't create the culture if you ignore employee basic needs. You have to live it and let it develop naturally. Learn to say "no" during the sales cycle when needed, and teach your salespeople that there are other ways to compete other than price.

Pros

Great career options and environment

Pros

Remote position, great co-workers to learn from

Pros

Some of the smartest folks I've worked with. Committed to higher ed, and constantly driving to make things better for their customers and internally. CEO Laura Ipsen's clarity and vision is very encouraging. New products are best in class, and legacy products are quickly catching up. Lots of opportunities to take your career in different directions and try new things. Lots of kindness and empathy here. Remote work is supported where appropriate.

Advice to Management

Keep improving how the company vision and direction is communicated. Keep listening, and keep improving.

Pros

Ellucian has the best application, onboarding and training process of any company I have ever worked for! The HR team is dedicated to timely responses, a stellar transition plan, and partners with each applicant from the initial job submission to months after you've started the job. They are intuitive to the questions you may have during the process, and are attentive to each applicant's unique needs. The company itself focuses on making Ellucian a great place to work, and is constantly asking employees for feedback, suggestions, etc., and (more importantly!) follows through with employee suggestions. Ellucian values a work-home balance, and encourages employees to take time for family, community, and giving back/volunteering where you can. When you work for Ellucian, you feel good about the work you do, the people you work with, and the impact that your work has in the world.
