Ellucian Reviews

Pros

I think it speaks volumes when you've worked for a company 20 years... I started with Ellucian (which was known as Systems & Computer Technology back when I started) right out of college. I was hired on as a Lotus Notes Administrator and was both nervous and excited at the same time. Jump forward 20+ years later I'm happy to say that I am still excited about the work I do here at Ellucian. I'm definitely not bored!! One thing that has helped sustain my time and to foster my success with Ellucian are the managers I've been privileged to work for... Not only have they challenged me over the years to help me grow, but they have fostered my ever so evolving strong work ethic and always reminding me to push myself and to think outside of the box which helps to ensure that I'm working and tapping into my full potential. Having good solid leadership is key and Ellucian has solid leaders in place. I am so inspired by our current CEO Laura Ipsen. She's amazing and she has clearly articulated her future vision for Ellucian which I'm very excited to be a part of!! Other pros about Ellucian is our diverse workforce, our products and services, and quite simply the fact that we're in the business of Education and ensuring that schools have innovative and cutting-edge tools which will help ensure the success of their matriculated students!! That makes me so proud to be part of a company that is committed to making a difference.

There is little to no incentive for employees to go above and beyond. Management does not have their employees' best interest in mind. Take care of your team, and employees in general, and they will take care of your company.

Pros

Great benefits, great co-workers, some improvement with recent high level leadership changes.

Advice to Management

Unfair that some business units within the company are loaded with Directors and VPs (that get extra benefits), but in other business units hardly anyone can reach those levels. Even within my business unit many with director title have far less demands and pressure then I do as a Sr manager. Also, I'm so overloaded with work and have an under resourced team to meet product management's unrealistic expectations, I have no time to participate in professional development activities like coaching mastery.

Pros

Open culture and atmosphere and friendly people. The work is meaningful and beneficial to millions of students. Strong work/life balance. People are encouraged to take time for personal growth and development.
