Pros

A genuinely supportive culture where people care about each other and about students. Leadership is approachable and accessible, and communication from the top is transparent and frequent with town halls, videos, and email updates. This can sometimes feel like over communication but its better than the alternative. The CEO is very down to earth and regularly shows up in classrooms and invites ALL colleagues to events and to provide regular feedback, which is not something you see often in higher education or any corporate environment. My leader gives me a lot of autonomy and trust, which makes it easier to do my job well. Remote work helps with work-life balance, and the colleagues I work with are collaborative and mission-driven.

Cons

Too many meetings and a lot of good ideas but less people able to bring them to life.

Pros

My time at DeVry University has been rewarding. In my experience, people who work hard and take ownership have opportunities to grow. I’ve been fortunate to work with several strong teams that collaborate well and genuinely care about supporting our students and each other. The work-life balance is fair, and there is flexibility when it’s needed. The benefits package is also solid and offers a variety of helpful resources.

Cons

Like any organization, there are occasional challenges and opportunities for improvement. In the moment, these can be cons but also a reality of business. However, the culture encourages collaboration and continuous growth, with teams working together to learn, adapt, and do better.
