Business Outlook

Pros

Supportive culture, professional growth opportunities, collaborative colleague environment, & meaningful work I’ve been with this company for 17 years, and that says a lot. I’ve had the opportunity to grow, take on new challenges, and work with some genuinely great people along the way. The culture is collaborative and supportive, and colleagues truly care about continuous improvement. It’s not perfect (no place is), but there’s a real willingness to listen and evolve. I’m proud of the work we do and grateful to have built a long-term career here.

Cons

As with any growing organization, change can take time—but there is genuine effort to improve

Pros

The culture at DeVry is phenomenal. There is a consistent need to focus on the overall colleague experience and make it better. Transparent Communication is also a strength for DeVry. I appreciate the fact that Executive leaders and cascaded down share a clear and concise story. My immediate manager is dedicated in developing as well as utilizing my transferable skills to better enhance my career and overall knowledge. I truly enjoy working at DeVry.

Cons

I currently can not think of "cons" but if I think about going from good to great. I would say, To move from good to great, continued investment in leadership and colleague development will be key. Equipping managers with the skills and tools to effectively coach, empower, and develop their teams will strengthen engagement and performance across the organization. Clear, consistent messaging paired with agility in times of change will help colleagues feel supported as they balance priorities and navigate external pressures.
