Pros

Blackbaud used to be a wonderful tech company to work for -- many of the team members are nice people who care about their work and clients.

Cons

CEO, COO and others all came from same huge white-guy-driven banking firm and have turned what was formerly a very cool tech company doing good work, into a very traditional, old-fashioned, boring corporation. They refer to engineers as the "Software Factory." Do not waste your time if you're looking for a remote opp or even a flexible situation. If hired, expect to move to CHS (expensive plus lots of traffic) and sit in the new open-concept HQ all day long like it's the 1950's. (Bring your headphones if you expect to concentrate!)

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!
