Pros

They aim to help non-profits.

Cons

Blackbaud is committed to creating internal systems that seem designed to prevent any customer from receiving proper support. Morale in support is rock bottom. People joke about suicide being a positive alternative to coming into work the next day. Not enough time is given to us to do our jobs, making working on weekends somewhat mandatory if you want to succeed. Training is grossly insufficient, or more likely not available. It is very sink-or-swim. If I get up from my computer to go to the bathroom, I *will* receive a call from my manager asking why I'm impacting my metrics, which govern everything I do, minute by minute.

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!
