Interview

Hiring process consisted of only phone interviews. The interview process first started with the HR Recruiter, followed by 2 other phone interviews; one with the hiring manager/direct supervisor with a team member, and another with the director of the department. A final phone call with the HR Recruiter is when the job offer was made.

Recruiter screen call, manager call, on site meeting with team. Needed to pass a drug test and a background check. Quick process and fast interview to hire process. Make sure you know the product!

Application

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Ellucian (Boston, MA (US)) in July 2020.

Interview

Recruiter reached out to me about opportunity, I responded quickly and agreed to talk with him at a specific time. He never even responded to my message about initial screen. HE REACHED out to me! Really strange.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Ellucian (Dover, DE (US)) in April 2020.

Interview

Applied online and was contacted by the recruiter everything was professional and he was very responsive. From there it took about a month to schedule the actual interview with the people at the site I would be working and then rescheduled last minute. Interview was over zoom due to covid, once the interview started things went down the drain. Started out with 3 interviewers and quickly went to two as one of them was too busy to stay on for more than 5 minutes, one of the remaining interviewers kept getting up and walking away and both interviewers kept complaining about how busy they were. They would ask a question and clearly not pay attention to my answers. I would explain my experience with something as part of my answers and then a few minutes later they would ask if I had any experience with something I’ve already described. At one point I just stopped talking in the middle of my sentence because I was so frustrated with how disconnected from the process they were and I'm not sure they noticed. I have never felt so disrespected and had my time wasted during an interview before. I was sure they basically were going through the motions because they already had someone in mind they wanted but it’s now 6 months later and the same job is still posted so I think they just don’t care about filling the position or no one wants to work with them because their interview experience was like mine.

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Ellucian in March 2020.

Interview

I applied online and had a brief introductory call (~10 min) and then arranged a Zoom interview with two experienced employees working at Ellucian. Call was friendly and somewhat casual as they asked about my experience, projects, and skills along with basic interview questions. Heard back shortly after.

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Ellucian (Chestertown, MD (US)) in January 2020.

Interview

About a 30 minute telephone screening by a recruiter followed by a one hour video chat interview with the person at the location I would be working along with and a field supervisor.

Interview

After three years, my interview experience with Ellucian still leaves me feeling hurt and confused. A recruiter reached out to me about a position I applied to and set up a phone interview. At the agreed upon time and day, I was waiting by the phone. She never called. When I emailed her to ask about rescheduling, she said some of the group was going on vacation and she’d get back to me after everyone got back. When I followed up a week later she said the position had been filled. Very disrespectful and unprofessional. Even three years later, I’m still annoyed.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Ellucian (New York, NY (US)) in July 2019.

Interview

One phone interview and an in person interview. I got the manager to show me around the building afterwards, I figured that was a good sign but I didn't get the position. It took a few weeks for them to let me know through email.

Interview

I had a recruiter phone screening with Ellucian that was among the strangest I've ever had in my 20+ years in the industry. The recruiter asked me a broad question about my technical problem-solving approach. I gave a detailed answer, but the recruiter kept coming back to the question, and appeared confused if not frustrated by what I was saying. The recruiter appeared to have a list of "buzz phrases" or topics -- I believe provided by the hiring manager -- that I was expected to touch on in my answer, and provided a couple of these to me as examples. One of these was "operational excellence" (?), which unfortunately didn't make a lot of sense, whether generally or in the context of the question. After going back-and-forth and patiently trying to provide an answer that was satisfactory, asking if perhaps the question could be rephrased, etc, my impression was that the recruiter was asking a broad, qualitative question, but given its technical nature didn't really understand the question, or my answers, or the "expected" answers. Subsequent to this the recruiter insisted that I provide a target salary before I could move forward as a candidate. I explained that I was broadly looking for market-rate compensation for the position, was sure we could come to a consensus on salary, but felt that it was too soon for me to quote a number. I was then asked to provide my current salary plus a raise. I politely declined and the recruiter ended the interview, informing me that I could get in touch if I wished to continue. If there ever was an example of how "hiring is broken" in tech this experience would surely qualify.
