Pros

I've never been valued as a person and as an employee as much as I was in Ellucian. The whole office was fantastic, the atmosphere and the culture too. I remember when I arrived I was shocked by how different it was from my previous companies. Work/life balance was excellent. I was never asked to do overtime or to do a job that was not my responsibility to do, and neither was anybody else. Yes, at times people used to get a little bit too comfortable but that was more of an individual problem. In terms of work, people were always empowered to work as they wanted, obviously with a bit of structure and processes that a big company needs to have. I was regularly challenged to improve and learn new things and I was, like everyone else in the office, given the opportunity to switch development languages, from an outdated one to a much more popular one. Plus, I've had the best manager I've ever met. I can't recommend Ellucian enough.

Cons

There's a bit of disconnection between the C levels and individual contributors. Being such a big company, you can imagine there's a whole layer of management from middle managers to directors, VPs and stuff. We used to have quarterly all hands, but developers don't see them as relevant to their day to day life, especially if they work outside of US. Promotions are also a bit rare to come by. People can easily go junior to senior or to lead, but when it comes to make the jump up one level it can be more tricky.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and so glad to hear you had such a great employee experience. We continue to have quarterly All-Hands meetings and complement these with department all-hands and various communication tools i.e., our #ask-leadership slack channel, to provide employees with direct access to our leadershi[ team. We're excited about the recent investments we've been making in our Learning & Development team to create career pathways and provide resources for employees to develop their careers.
