Pros

No micro management. Flexible working hours Lots of learnings and opportunities

Cons

Leaves are pretty low here when compared to other companies. No sick leaves here. 22 days in a year is definitely not enough for any employee.

Thank you so much for the review and we are happy to see you are having such a great experience! Regarding our leave policies, we do offer 10 days of sick leave every year in addition to the 15 days of PTO for employees with tenures of <5 years. Additionally, we offer 5 days of Volunteer Leave which we encourage our employees to take as a way to give back to our communities that have given us so much. If you have any questions on your benefits or would like to understand them in greater detail please contact your HR Business Partner or drop a note to our Service Center (hrsc@ellucian.com) and they will be happy to assist!
