Pros

Enjoy working with many of the people there. Good place for your first job.

Cons

They try to hire young people and hope they can do the job. They purchase a lot of companies and layoff 85% of them slowly but surely. Especially the technical people. Most of the time you are likely just too expensive for what they are willing to pay.

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.
