Pros

Interesting clients Decent benefits Company culture used to be positive; now is a witch hunt environment. Nice location (Charleston)

Cons

Convio acquisition has been a disaster that has ruined company culture. Recent layoffs cut too deep and company lost a lot of good talent. Remaining employees workload is overwhelming. Middle management is terrified of new senior management and looks to protect only themselves. Company will not address core issues: poor project scoping, no cohesive product strategy and failure to manage client expectations. Employees are expected to work 24/7-----churn and burn.

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.
