Why are people so excited to work for your company?

In addition to events like those, Ellucian has themed socials, team lunches and breakfasts, happy hours, and more.
“I just love going to the different locations anytime I get a chance,” said Carrero, who works from home in Florida. “I want to go visit the locations because every time you go, it’s just so much fun. We plan activities, we get together, and it’s really fun.”
What do you look for in candidates for your jobs?
“Definitely folks [who] are passionate about our mission, [who] care about what we stand for,” said Carrero.
For example, Ellucian stands for higher education. So, people who want to contribute to society as well as contribute to the success of the company are great candidates for the organization.
The organization also looks for candidates who are flexible, adaptable, and willing to learn.
“There’s a lot that happens in this company,” said Carrero. “There are so many opportunities. Because we are about education and we are a learning organization, one of the things we care about is making sure our folks are developed.”
