Pros

Most of the individual contributors working at Blackbaud do care about the NPO community and want to make a difference with innovative technologies. The Austin office is a great location (Domain), and your job satisfaction is heavily dependent on the specific unit you work within and who you work for.

Cons

Blackbaud is very Charleston-centeric; if in a leadership role, it is very difficult to be effective from Austin. Technologies are dated, but the company does have marketshare in the NPO world. Fragmented client experience and very siloed departmentally.

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.
