Blackbaud reviews

The critical importance of the nonprofit market to American life makes the mediocrity of the products, vision, sales approach, management, etc all the more disappointing. Selling Windows XP-era technology is embarrassing, and even the cloud tech they bought with Convio is getting long in the tooth. Blackbaud has long since lost any "innovation" DNA it may have had, and has been coasting on its reputation and brand name as the de facto NPO standard. The acquisition of Convio successfully bought Blackbaud some more time and runway by eliminating its most viable challenger. However, if it requires major surgery on product management, sales, and services to transform itself into a modern software company that can compete with nimbler,more flexible platforms....I don't envy the next CEO.

Blackbaud requires a year of employment to even allow applying to anything else internally, pay is extremely low, advancement opportunities are incredibly difficult to attain, suggestions for improvement are often ignored, advanced education means nothing to them, employee morale means little to management, EXTREMELY number centric, and ANY internal advancement will almost certainly require relocation to Charleston. In a nutshell management is willing to pay you poorly and treat you with disdain while they rack up the money. But they will work around your night class. But once you get that degree you best start applying elsewhere because they don't care.
