Pros

Permits employees to work from home. 1 extra week off for volunteering. $350 stipend for personal health.

Cons

Just when you finish training the newly hired consultants, they will fire you. No job security. Had 4 riifs while I was there. They talk a good talk - but it’s just jargon & senior level management operate the opposite way & help develop your career & support you. Look elsewhere.

Ellucian Response

Thanks for your review and your more than two decades of commitment and service to Ellucian. Sorry to hear about your experience but hopefully you were able to find stability, security and growth throughout your career with the company.
