Pros

Ellucian are backed by great owners TPG who are investing heavily in the business in developing the software, hiring and investing in existing staff and hiring new people across the business in Marketing, Sales, HR, Presales, Professional Services etc There are lots of new people and a lot of people who have worked here a long time. Most people stay a long time because they are passionate about the business we are in - Higher Education. It's a competitive market but we are seeing great results and success. Perks of the job include flexibility in being able to work from home. Autonomy to get on with my job and being empowered to make decisions with support when I need it. I get to travel loads and can usually work that around times that suit me as well as the company.

Cons

Non really. I guess as a leader a lot of my team have worked here a long time which is mainly a good thing but sometimes means they are a bit set in their ways. Having said the culture is open and honest and people are receptive to change.

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.
