Pros

A few staff members who offer support or at least a sympathetic ear when you have to deal with the disgusting and backstabbing nature of many of the senior members of staff.

Cons

The number of staff that have had to leave this company because they were treated so terribly is appalling. The person employed in all the instances that I know of were extremely capable and valued members of the team that were bullied, humiliated and made to feel worthless. There is a continuing pattern in the EMEA region specifically and HR do nothing about the people responsible for this damaging behavior. Actually, they promote them instead! There is a shocking culture of just ignoring the issues or worst, they blame the victim and make out that the roles are too stressful and the person was not up to it. Absolute nonsense! I am ashamed to be associated with such an organisation and sincerely do not know how HR sleep at night, knowing full well what goes on. Ellucian is damaging to your health and well being.

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.
