Great people. generous time off. Nice facility. Good training. Overall a great starter job. Company is very profitable.

Cons

Dated software but a new one is coming soon. average - below average pay at all levels of employment. A lot of stress and responsibility for the low pay and almost non existent pay raise after 1 yr. Share some of the profits!

Pros

The company has great people, decent pay and benefits and most managers will help with career development as best they are able to.

Cons

Blackbaud is notorious for layoffs (basically happen annually, even if they don't have to officially be called "layoffs" by the SEC definition), so if you get a job here be sure to build up your emergency fund and be prepared for anything. even if you love your job at BB if something better happens to come your way you should probably take it b/c they won't hesitate to let you go if it suits their interests. Also, unfortunately, the products of theirs are basically windows 95 dinosaurs and anything new they're developing really appears to be already out of date so working in marketing can be challenging as you're trying to convince people to spend way too much for way too little.
