Pros

Most co-workers are very friendly, good corporate vacation policy, location in Austin Domain, engineers with a passion to do more. The staff believes in the missions of the customers. Recruiting staff is amazing.

Cons

Poor mid-level product management leadership. Too many VPs for such a small company. poor planning process. business units compete against each other for attention for product team with vastly different demands and no common strategic direction. Old technology. Very hierarchical management style. Lack of diversity. Charleston staff is dismissive of staff in other offices. Significant amounts of redundancy and inefficiency across the company. Compensation is based on Charleston market, which isn't competitive in Austin.

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!
