Pros

I had a mixed experience at Blackbaud. I found that there was a glass ceiling for advancement and was told that I would not be able to move up or receive a significant raise. Additionally, I had an uncomfortable experience with my manager who made a racially insensitive comment about my favorite Marvel character. Despite this, my co-workers were all great and it was a pleasure to work with them. However, I found that the company seemed a bit lost in terms of their software development direction. Furthermore, I felt that the company relied on their status as the largest tech employer in the area to keep salaries lower, which may not be as effective in a remote work environment.

Cons

I put everything in the pros section

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.
