Pros

none. free breakfast, happy hour every two weeks. nothing compared to what is out there

Cons

really bad place to work. bullying allowed. managers prefer man than woman. boys club 100%. if you don't have a deal on the table is likely that the manger director wont even say good morning to you. work life balance - forget about it - work from home is no welcome there

Terrible organisation

Pros

I cant think of any pros about this company. Maybe the occasional happy hour they used to put on.

Cons

Lack of focus and direction from management. They don't seem to care about their staff, just the number / amount of hours you're putting in (overworked). They treat and talk to badly if things aren't going the way they want them to, and nice as pie of you're doing your number. The place is terribly understaffed and they can't hire decent and skilled staff as they pay such low salaries. They are notoriously bad at pay, and your work life balance will suffer as they expect you to work 10 + hour days (that's what I was told in my interview!) Everyone is literally burnt out and miserable, the atmosphere in the Sydney office is toxic, lots of gossiping about one another and no one likes the management team. I seriously wouldn't recommend this company to anyone who wants to progress their career - go and work for salesforce, a great organisation to work for - you're probably going to lose the majority of your opportunities to them anyway.

Pros

Great value in the work they do, lots of passionate people committed to providing the charity sector the very best they can, great office vibe, great office location (North Sydney). Most importantly it's personally rewarding work.

Cons

Poor leadership, very nepotistic (co-workers going on Christmas vacations together), lack of vision. The real damning factor is they do not recruit outside of the not-for-profit sector making the business so inbred that commercial expertise counts for very little. Senior directors of charities would consider working as a junior at Blackbaud a positive career move and consequently they come cheap.
