Vantaggi

Benefits and pay are OK. Middle managers care about their staff. Ability to work remotely.

Svantaggi

Datatel was a great company to work for. Before the first buyout it was rated as one of the 50 best companies to work for in the DC area. After it went from a privately-owned company to being bought out by two different investment companies, it went from being employee centric to all about the bottom line. The merger with Sungard Higher Ed only made it worse. The current environment is all about getting as much work done with as few employees as possible. Everyone worries if they're next in the next round of layoffs. This has left overworked employees with low morale. Great employees are leaving as fast as they can find another job.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
