Pros

Great people to work with, although you can find amazing people at every software company!

Cons

Benefits- The benefits are simply OK. They do no legitimate competitive research against other software companies and they will try to tell that that they do. But it is clear to all of us that our benefits are not competitive. You can find incredible benefits elsewhere! Annual layoffs - I've watched way too many of my coworkers turned friends get laid off year after year. This is the 6-7 year in a row layoffs have taken place at Blackbaud. The company shows NO empathy or emotions towards ending people's livelihoods and careers. They do this EVERY year! Be careful choosing Blackbaud as your next employer, you very well could be next. I personally was not impacted this time around but will be looking for my next job given that NO ONE IS SAFE. Leadership- The leaders are way too removed from their people. They do not care for your wellbeing, and will try everything that they can to promote 'well-being' to the world, but they don't care. Posting on teams every other week about how to not get stressed at work while stressing out everyone just doesn't cut it as a 'well-being' perk.

Pros

Blackbaud is an outstanding place to work. The remote-first culture is a big bonus, but the people and the mission really make it what it is. They are well resourced and put a lot of care into making their employees feel seen, valued and respected. The leadership teams make it a priority to have healthly discourse and ensure accountability from all team members. I love it here!

Cons

Long hours but it is worth it because it is a great place to work!

Pros

Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
