Blackbaud reviews

Micromanagement abounds. If there's a fire drill, you'll probably have to take PTO to cover the time you couldn't work. Tenured employees are frequently driven to the breaking point but only stay because it's impossible to find a new job when they have to give 10 days notice for any time off or face the consequences, including termination. People who don't deserve promotion are promoted and tenured employees are left to twist in the wind. Hard work and dedication don't matter, but responding to the right email in an email chain does. Trying to leave and be completely done is like trying to leave the mafia. Nobody in Human Resources knows what they are doing, and neither do any of the levels of management. Nobody is capable of acting on their own, but everyone is real good at passing responsibility around. Good luck receiving your full pay when you quit.

Compared to the rest of the industry, Blackbaud’s compensation package is a joke. Despite my constant nagging to upper management, my employees receive sub-par salary increases compounded with ridiculously low starting salaries. Interviewees are originally baited with large bonus payouts. However, these payouts are exorbitantly taxed. When I need to hire a new employee, 10+% decline mid-interview due to our lower starting salary range. And these are kids right out of college! Blackbaud has lost its customer/employee focus. In the past 8-10 years, everything has changed. Upper management seems only concerned with their personal portfolios and company stock prices, which is reflected in every move they make. I can't describe how frustrating this ongoing issue has become and it makes me sick to my stomach.
