Pros
You can wander into the office around 9, do your job, and leave by 4 and still be successful.
Cons
- Very cliquey, siloed, and political. This is much, much worse for those not in Charleston. If you aren't in the headquarters your chances of success at Blackbaud are significantly impaired. - There really isn't much "culture." It isn't a bad culture, and some individual teams have better or worse. However, participation in company events is small, there isn't much company identity, and most people who work there don't really interact outside of the office. I met very few people who said, "I love working here," the most common sentiment was "it's a job." - Top heavy. Leadership tends to get 'into the weeds' on product development decisions rather than trust their teams. This is made worse by frequent changes in leadership, so months of work is often thrown away as new leaders changes priorities and direction, and then six months later is happens again. - Too process driven. Things that should be decided in a quick 1 hour meeting can take months because of the overbearing process. There was constant discussion of processes and much of the communications from leadership were only about processes. Innovations in process are often recognized and rewarded more than innovation and improvements to the products.
