An OK company to work for, lots of change but no real growth in the 10+ years here.

Project manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers generally committed to doing good work. Industry leader, industry leading conference (if you get to participate). Many positions remote eligible. Decent benefits but not industry leading by a longshot. Good compensation and time off benefits. New CEO might be a Pro, time will tell if it moves to the CON column.

Cons

Company divisions exist in several silos that are nearly impossible to cross when needed. Professional services utilization targets are very high, resources are overbooked as the norm. Little opportunity for movement once inside the company. Company seems to like change for the sake of change, nothing over the last 5-8 years has resulted in any significant growth. Mid and High level management is in duck and cover mode most of the time as a result, so little if any of the vision du jour gets implemented.

Great Work-Life Balance

Business Outlook

Pros

Ellucian employees are fairly compensated and the work environment is pretty relaxed. The people are generally pleasant to work with and the corporate culture is improving.

Cons

Not the most exciting work environment. Most of the company is remote so it's difficult to build any kind of real bonds with co-workers. Also, being remote limits advancement. Products are old so technology is not that exciting.
