      Pros

      The ability to work from home and flex your work hours is really nice. My manager trusts that I know what I'm doing but is there to support and help me when needed. I mostly enjoy the travel and really like interacting with customers. The product that I primarily work with is in development but is generating a lot of excitement and has a lot of promise.

      Cons

      I feel like the company is large enough that it's struggling a bit to pull in input from all necessary areas to make decisions. Decisions are sometimes made without considering important factors that should have impacted the outcome. In some really vital areas we seem to be lacking the ability to formulate a clear strategy and execute on it.

      Pros

      When I first started working at Ellucian, I was underpaid and the meetings seemed endless. Fortunately, both issues were addressed and now the Agile meetings are at a reasonable amount and my bosses pushed for higher pay in order to keep talent around. As far as development goes, most of what I do involves developing on top of Dynamics CRM. This makes things a lot easier but at the same time does provide challenges since the backend is clearly defined. There still is a lot of room for development though as there are plenty of features which require complex coding. The pay and benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      The upper managers seem to say yes to every customer request without consulting the Tech leads first. If you manage an eCRM team, you have to make a lot of hard choices that seem to be unnecessary and largely inflicted by the upper echelons of management. The top executives seem to be pushing for a more streamlined approach to release with emphasis on SaaS, but appear to be largely unconcerned with getting the details right. So it's a bumpy, slow process.
