Pros

The company has great people, decent pay and benefits and most managers will help with career development as best they are able to.

Cons

Blackbaud is notorious for layoffs (basically happen annually, even if they don't have to officially be called "layoffs" by the SEC definition), so if you get a job here be sure to build up your emergency fund and be prepared for anything. even if you love your job at BB if something better happens to come your way you should probably take it b/c they won't hesitate to let you go if it suits their interests. Also, unfortunately, the products of theirs are basically windows 95 dinosaurs and anything new they're developing really appears to be already out of date so working in marketing can be challenging as you're trying to convince people to spend way too much for way too little.

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.
