Pros

Blackbaud's work in creating software to assist nonprofits is excellent, and working with some of the best nonprofits in the world is greatly rewarding. The headquarters in Charleston is beautiful, with many amenities.

Cons

Blackbaud's reorganization since acquiring Covio has greatly diminished their focus on customer and employee success. Attrition is extremely high now, as they are losing great people due to increasingly responsibilities without adequate compensation, lack of proper training, and statistical management. In trying to keep up with the technology boom in Charleston, and remain competitive with other local up-and-coming IT companies, they have shifted their focus to being more profitable, and away from customer and employee satisfaction. This ship is now sinking in Silicon Harbor.

High Turnover

Pros

Benefits were nice. The onsite gym and cafeteria weren't bad either. Health care included. Easy to earn pretty regular bonuses.

Cons

High turnover. Lax work from home policy. Management seemed blissfully unaware, and unless you're willing to play the "corporate game" you're not going to get ahead.

Pros

The members of the team are great, and it's good to work with non-profits and feel like I'm doing some good.

Cons

The executives don't understand what we do and evaluate against metrics that don't make any sense. The product is held together with bubblegum & bailing wire. Concerns from the front-end team are largely dismissed.
