Pros

Good compensation and benefits. New product development.

Cons

Difficult onboarding and ramp up for new hires. You are definitely treated like you are disposable by senior sales leaders.

Pros

Mission of company is tremendous and customer base not only does great work but really needs technology support more than those in the for profit world. Company really does help make the world a better place.

Cons

Leadership is overwhelmingly short-sighted and unreasonably profit-motivated. Newest leadership has little or no understanding of the non-profit industry and wants Blackbaud to operate like any other software company -- but Blackbaud is most successful as a niche provider (albeit a major, large one) and shouldn't / can't be run in the same way that you'd run a software company that provides solutions to insurance companies or financial services. Ultimately, the non-profit world will stop seeing Blackbaud as a concerned partner, only as a profit-focused vendor.

Pros

Great people and offices, serving a fantastic portfolio of clients. As Blackbaud is 100% focused on the NFP sector, it is very satisfying to help the customers succeed.

Cons

Not much I can think of except some of product engineering needs more attention. Always a tough battle against the large players targeting the NFP.
