Pros

The customers: most are working to change the world!

Cons

Only cares about wallstreet, not customers, not employees, not products. Poducts are based on 20 year old technology Forces customers to adapt to them, offers no real localization outside the US Tries to go international but doesn´t think outside Charleston SC Terrible location: Charleston is a tiny town in South Carolina. Hard to hire good talent. Terrible compensation, if you travel, they don´t cover all your expenses.

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.
