Pros

People, people, people. Wonderful non-profit client organizations. Excellent benefits and employment perks. Hard working teams. Cafeteria and gym both within HQ building.

Cons

Internal silos and politics between senior management. Stuffy, corporate culture. Need to focus on the technology needs of employees and provide the right equipment and tools to get the job done.

Pros

-great people -market leader -location(Charleston SC) -career development -new CEO with some balls -new on boarding program for sales/marketing -publicly traded company(BLKB) -extremely competitive to get hired -arguably the best company to work for in charleston

Cons

-lack of product development under past CEO, Marc Chardon -got caught up in the acquisitions game -flagship product runs well but looks old(current leadership is committed to addressing this) -middle mgmt, like others have said, it is a problem. -sales reps get paid, solutions engineers do most of the work though. They get paid less. -support analysts seem to complain about lack of pay and long hours. -consultants are highly utilized, which can tend to burn them out quickly. -the marketing team has too many people for the amount of work to be done. I think they can condense those slots. Not enough revenue generators to justify the number of employees.

Pros

Great impact through the work of our clients. Interesting/challenging projects. Fantastic office in Bay Area. Culture, values and work/life balance are all pluses

Cons

It's a big company and some things are more complicated than necessary: human resources, help desk, etc. in particular.
