Pros

Good people. Culture is wrought with similar issue at the top as with any company but the people on the ground are petty good. Company does a good job of making tactical adjustments to it's business to stay ahead of the head winds.

Cons

Does nothing to train low level management. Will promote based on tenure and wins versus competency to lead.

Pros

Incredible people (before mass layoffs) and remote work that leaves you to do your job and supports you.

Cons

Constant layoffs, dishonest leadership and careless ELT

Pros

Team members are supportive and collaborative, so at first it seems like a great culture. Work-life balance afforded by remote first work environment.

Cons

I joined Blackbaud b/c of their advertised values and focus on helping non-profits and the social good. It soon becomes apparent that these are not lived values by management and ELT. They are a for-profit company, positioning themselves for sale. Blackbaud performs two layoffs per year (in the past 5 months, 14% of the workforce were let go) while the ELT cashes in on stocks. Instead of fixing or growing products, they acquire failing companies and then lay off employees to meet the factor 40.
