Pros
The comradery at Blackbaud is infectious. Everyone is working towards the same goal to really help our customers do better in the world. This is a great company to work at if you are passionate about your community and technology. Throughout my many years at Blackbaud I was able to grow in my career, learn new things through our internal training team, and really felt successful in my career.
Cons
As a manager, it was very frustrating to push my team to keep working harder and harder without any additional compensation. We were always budgeted a very small percentage for cost of living adjustment each year and could rarely push for anyone else to get a larger raise without it being a promotion of title, and even promotions felt like a hunger games to determine who throughout the entire department really deserved the promotion. It was very disheartening as a manager that we could only provide our team with virtual high-fives or badges in WorkDay, but never with anything tangible (aka money). Money is a motivator for many employees and without that, we lost many talented individuals that could go elsewhere and almost immediately double their salary.
