Pros

Blackbaud is a great company with a wonderful mission. You get to go to work each day knowing that what you do is making a small impact in the social good community. The clients and prospects you get to work with are the best! Blackbaud also has a great culture that promotes a top-notch work life balance. The leadership on the SE team is incredible, and you get to work alongside of some of the most kind and helpful people. You are given autonomy in your role, career development is encouraged, and the company values its employees.

Cons

Blackbaud has had a tough 2020, so there is a lot of uncertainty with the company right now. Towards the beginning of the pandemic, ELT provided a lot of communication and encouragement, but after mid-year layoffs occurred that transparency from the top down has tapered off. This has caused some uneasiness across the company. It can also feel like product development on core solutions is moving in the wrong direction or focusing on the wrong things.

Pros

Decent pay, remote work flexibility, you get to work with some very talented folks.

Cons

Used to be proud to work for Blackbaud but that has all but disappeared in last 2 years. Poor and ineffective leadership, false transparency, frequent layoffs, bonuses based off of stock which has been tanking. It's a sinking ship. Avoid at all costs.
