Pros

Before I started working at Blackbaud I was chided about their nickname of "Blackheart". It turns out the moniker is correct. It's a very toxic place to work. Despite my personal success, I did not enjoy my time there.

Cons

Senior management operates like an old boys club. They will do ANYTHING to squeeze out another penny from a customer.

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.
