Pros

Average pay, good work from home policy

Cons

For a "social good" company, Blackbaud is incredibly spineless and cowardly, taking the most neutral stances possible on every social issue. It's not possible to do social good while tolerating intolerance. When criticized about having NRA as a customer, Blackbaud announced it would stop matching gun advocacy donations, but it was only later revealed that this was a temporary measure to deal with bad PR. Similarly, after the Roe v. Wade announcement, Blackbaud made it clear that they wanted to equally support employees who were "happy" about the announcement of women's bodily autonomy being taken away. Meanwhile, many other companies are paying upwards of $4k for women to seek reproductive healthcare in other states. Part of why I decided to work for Blackbaud was because of its social good angle. I thought maybe it was less evil than most tech companies, but frankly it's worse.

Pros

Blackbaud is an outstanding place to work. The remote-first culture is a big bonus, but the people and the mission really make it what it is. They are well resourced and put a lot of care into making their employees feel seen, valued and respected. The leadership teams make it a priority to have healthly discourse and ensure accountability from all team members. I love it here!

Cons

Long hours but it is worth it because it is a great place to work!

Pros

Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
