Pros

The only pros to working for Blackbaud was the opportunity to learn their technology tools so I could become an independent RE and NetCommunity consultant.

Cons

Where do I start? A culture entirely focused around selling whatever you could - be it outdated products or professional services rooted in falsehoods - and as much of it as you could. Sell a client 50 licences when they only need 10 - fine. Sell a client 20 days services when they only need 5 - fine. The technology company equivalent of a rogue plumber or car mechanic - only this time robbing charities of thousands of pounds. Also, rampant sexism everywhere.

Pros

The next gen products are looking great, all we need to do now is consolidate our resources and focus on the top 10 products we have

Cons

Too many offerings, we need to figure out which product is going to do what

Pros

Large company with decent salary for the region

Cons

They need to create a culture that is collaborative, empowering and one that truly leverages an individual's strengths. I've never heard the term "throw someone under the bus" as often as I did at Blackbaud - and they put it in action.
