Pros

The culture -- laid back, yet very serious about what we do. The benefits -- not great compared to other software companies, but great for this area. The opportunity -- if you have drive, you can succeed here and work your way up. The actual work -- very cool to be making a product that helps nonprofit organizations help others.

Cons

Really could use better benefits, like other software companies. Perhaps fringe benefits would be a better word. Also, the pay is not up to par with other software companies, but it's good for this area. The benefits and pay are part of the reason Blackbaud is not top of the list for developers. Bonuses and stock options are reserved for management, and this is a very management heavy company.

Pros

Blackbaud is an outstanding place to work. The remote-first culture is a big bonus, but the people and the mission really make it what it is. They are well resourced and put a lot of care into making their employees feel seen, valued and respected. The leadership teams make it a priority to have healthly discourse and ensure accountability from all team members. I love it here!

Cons

Long hours but it is worth it because it is a great place to work!
