Smart, Passionate People, and Purpose-Driven Company - Services Engineering Architect Ellucian Employee Review

5.0

Services engineering architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the smartest folks I've worked with. Committed to higher ed, and constantly driving to make things better for their customers and internally. CEO Laura Ipsen's clarity and vision is very encouraging. New products are best in class, and legacy products are quickly catching up. Lots of opportunities to take your career in different directions and try new things. Lots of kindness and empathy here. Remote work is supported where appropriate.

Cons

Last year's org changes created some churn, but that is settling down now. Work/life balance can be a challenge at times but if you advocate for yourself, management is very willing to listen and accommodate.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility of remote work Great peers that are helpful Decent benefits

Cons

Upper and Middle Management are awful More interested in vibe/buzz words rather than teaching you expectations the role Private Equity money is bringing in clowns from Boeing and Microsoft to manage implementations and shifts to the cloud. Lots of ego, no delivery to customers Embarassment working with clients when they see many architects, consultants, and PMs are incompetent (due to trickle down from upper mgmt) Lies about assigning you clients in your time zone. I had clients in 4 time zones with one being a 12 hour difference.
