Pros

I got to work with some life-long friends at Blackbaud. For the majority of my time, I worked for a great leader (not manager). Blackbaud is a great place to start your career as they have extensive training and provide you with the appropriate tools to succeed.

Cons

I was given stock as a bonus for going above and beyond in my role that was worth hefty amount at that time. This stock bonus was in lieu of a cash bonus at the time it was awarded. Unfortunately, I was laid off 2 months before that stock vested, and the company didn't pass that on as part of my severance. I understand that there is a vesting period for a reason, but it left a bad taste in my mouth since the company was giving the stock instead of a cash bonus for great performance. There have been a lot of long-time employees that have left in the last few years because the company culture has changed and nobody feels safe or appreciated. Blackbaud used to be like a second home.

Pros

Really good collaboration and teamwork from within the CSM team.

Cons

Alot of stuff gets dumped onto CSM, and the attitude seems to be mostly that if anything has to do with a customer that the CSM should handle it. As a CSM, it felt like the company should serve the customers more instead of defining why they shouldn't help customers and understand what the solutions do and how to answer basic questions.
