Pros

1. Some of the R&D teams work on cutting-edge tech stack. 2. HR team in Bangalore is very proactive, employee friendly and focused on employee well-being. 3. E.g. I wanted to quit my job a couple of months ago due to some issues. The HR he intervened and provided a different prespective and I stayed back in the company. 4. Growing company and bright future. 5. Lots of long tenured employees. 6. Very engaging employee engagement programs. 7. HR focuses on corporate social responsibility and I have worked in 3 MNC companies in the past and out of which 2 companies had social responsibility by the marketing team. Here HR focusing is very nice and they engage a lot of employees. 8. Employee benefits and options are really cool.

Cons

1. Some teams work on legacy technology. 2. Some managers are outdated and they don’t make any attempt to change or improve with the current scenario. 3. Managers are not empowered and they micromanage. 4. Finance team here needs a overhaul. Very unfriendly policy and programs and very slow and outdated in every aspect. 5. You will be disappointed speaking to the finance team as they donot provide reasonable solution and they will confuse too. 6. Not much of onsite travel opportunity 7. Most of the interesting work in and around technology and process are done in R&D US based teams and hence they are not using the skills and talent of the team in bangalore

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.
