Thanks for your review. We're very proud of the strength and stability of our company, and couldn't be more excited about the growth we're experiencing. We're also very proud of our learning culture - its something that we take seriously. We recently rolled out our new Job Architecture framework so there is a clear line of sight to career pathing across the organization. We recognize that careers can grow in multiple different directions and we are very mindful to have the infrastructure in place to provide a career roadmap so employees can understand the skills & experiences and the training & support needed to help enable them to grow on their respective journeys.

Pros

Ellucian had some genuinely brilliant people. I mean real talent. Smart engineers, sharp support people who could look at a broken system and somehow see both the problem and the political disaster hiding behind it. A lot of people there cared deeply about higher ed. They understood that colleges and universities are not just “customers.” They are institutions trying to keep students moving, faculty supported, and operations alive with systems that often looked held together by duct tape, PLSQL scripts, and institutional trauma.

Cons

Then there was the C-suite. Every company has executives. That’s normal. But this group often felt less like corporate stewards and more like LinkedIn influencers who accidentally wandered into an ERP company. They seemed distant. Aloof. Not deeply engaged with the actual work, the clients, or the people carrying the weight. There was a lot of executive polish, a lot of corporate language, a lot of “vision,” but not always the kind of grounded leadership that makes employees say, “I trust these people with the future of the company.” At times, it felt like the people closest to the customers understood the business better than the people paid the most to lead it.
