Pros

Blackbaud is a nice mid-sized tech company in the beautiful city of Charleston SC. They use the positive attributes of Charleston for recruiting purposes. And while I agree with their stance, Charleston is not a metropolitan city by any means and won't appeal to techies from SF, SEA, or TX. A lot of emphasis on adopting Blackbaud culture and it goes a long way to be a team player.

Cons

Lacking true technology innovation. Revenue goals still rely on annual maintenance and software functionality upgrades. Flagship products use antiquated tools (e.g. VB 6) The culture does breed some indoctrination, and a lot of new hires become frustrated with the lack of innovation.

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!
