Ellucian reviews

pressure to rack up billable hours; fully accountable for an unmanageable amount of projects; continued lip service about work life balance;

RIFs are a normal part of the company's financial strategy and creates an atmosphere of constant insecurity across all levels. Company tries to force the desired culture rather than creating an environment where it develops naturally. Constant changes in upper management lead to frequent changes in direction that make it very difficult to have a cohesive long-term strategy (Laura Ipsen is the 3rd CEO since the formation of Ellucian in 2012). Company constantly under-staffs project to overcome pricing objections in the sales cycle, then expect consultants assigned to the project to work long hours to make up for the shortfall in staffing. Decades old ERP technology that does not adapt easily to today's market requirements. Span of control for lower level managers is much too large for them to effectively manage their staff.
