Pros

great clients to work with - it is what makes working for the company worthwhile onsite amenities pay is good for the area smart coworkers, environment can be fun.

Cons

while the pay is good you are expected to put in a lot of hours in most positions to earn that salary!

Pros

Great clients! Some good people are there, too.

Cons

Management is atrocious!!! They only care about their goals, not yours. The chance of advancement to management is slim, though Blackbaud often tauts the opportunities in customer support. Note some of these reviews indicate that people sat in the same position for 3-4 years before making it to management. Considering you need no technical background (or so they say) for a support role, why should it be so hard to make it to management? Do you really want to stay entry level, with no raise, mind you, for 4 years until someone else leaves and there is an opening? No incentives. Rewards are inconsistent.

Pros

The culture -- laid back, yet very serious about what we do. The benefits -- not great compared to other software companies, but great for this area. The opportunity -- if you have drive, you can succeed here and work your way up. The actual work -- very cool to be making a product that helps nonprofit organizations help others.

Cons

Really could use better benefits, like other software companies. Perhaps fringe benefits would be a better word. Also, the pay is not up to par with other software companies, but it's good for this area. The benefits and pay are part of the reason Blackbaud is not top of the list for developers. Bonuses and stock options are reserved for management, and this is a very management heavy company.
