Pros

- Awesome Managers - Everyone is focused and ready to work - No BS or workplace politics that I witnessed - Blackbaud does care about the social good - Cold-calling but this is what to expect. You are given lots of tips/advice. - Co-workers make it worth it!

Cons

- Frequent Layoffs in the past couple of years - Claims transparency, yet laid off workers all around the world without warning - As much as they care, this is still a huge company and their bottom line is more important than keeping valuable employees - Cold calling is pretty ruthless and you almost feel bad because you are reaching out to non-profits who operate on small funds. - No idea if software was even helpful for those that used the technology

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.
