Pros

None at this point in time. The outlook is bleak.

Cons

The company is too focused on profit, not on it's people. There continues to be many senior and highly skilled employees leaving the company.

1 Great Company + 1 Mediocre Company = 1 Lousy Big Company

Pros

Benefits and pay are OK. Middle managers care about their staff. Ability to work remotely.

Cons

Datatel was a great company to work for. Before the first buyout it was rated as one of the 50 best companies to work for in the DC area. After it went from a privately-owned company to being bought out by two different investment companies, it went from being employee centric to all about the bottom line. The merger with Sungard Higher Ed only made it worse. The current environment is all about getting as much work done with as few employees as possible. Everyone worries if they're next in the next round of layoffs. This has left overworked employees with low morale. Great employees are leaving as fast as they can find another job.
