Pros

Ellucian has been evolving for the better over the past year that I have been here. A lot of new Executive management that is bringing the business forward in a positive way. Overall the workforce is a great group of people and I would recommend working here.

Cons

The Fairfax office setup makes it hard to get to know other co-workers. There are new programs being put in place to help with getting to know each other but it is difficult due to the workforce being spread all over the world.

Pros

Growth has been good in past few years, the company has started to pay attention to internal issues and their people, strong sales focus, products greatly improving

Cons

Mergers create constant climate of cultural unrest; systems still reflect 'them' and 'us' - technology management teams are providing the most sustainable profit margins but are not well understood, supported or represented in the corporate structure; the sales and consulting side constantly undermines and vampirizes from TM and the higher ups seem to only emphasize product sales. Non-datatel people outside of fairfax feel excluded and marginalized. Divisions compete with each other. Company is still 'storming' and morale is low. Great ideas tend to surface, momentum gets started, and then efforts get abandoned and the company shifts to the next new shiny thing without following through to completion on core business processes. We sell 'best practices' - let's start using them!

Pros

Former sales. I would give it another shot if all former sales management from both Sungard an Datatel were replaced.

Cons

Sungard employees were over paid and their VP level was the director level at most at Datatel. My luck, ended up reporting to former VP's sales from Sungard and they were terrible. I have never seen worse decision making and management ever. I think pompous would sum it up.
