Pros

Work/life balance can be good. Days off are nice. There are some really nice and sincere people that work there, and if those are your top priorities in your career, this is a great place to work.

Cons

Career progression is minimal, and you have to play "games" to fit in with management. Pay is way lower than others in the area. Management operates on egos instead of logic and they are allowed to insult their direct reports. Many tenured employees are only there for the pros listed, knowing it's nearly impossible to be fired. Anyone wanting to make more of themselves are gone or looking. Products are a mess that no one in the company fully understands, but they keep adding more.

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.
