Pros

Seemingly flexible Lots of interesting colleagues with diverse backgrounds

Cons

Can never work hard enough to get ahead Must be part of good ol' boys club (or a pretty young girl) to advance Cannot keep enough EM's to manage highly complex projects Cannot keep the good tech resources, so outsource custom work to Pakistan New products are aggresively sold, but not thoughtfully scoped Divisions are extremely silo'd

Pros

Decent pay, remote work flexibility, you get to work with some very talented folks.

Cons

Used to be proud to work for Blackbaud but that has all but disappeared in last 2 years. Poor and ineffective leadership, false transparency, frequent layoffs, bonuses based off of stock which has been tanking. It's a sinking ship. Avoid at all costs.
