Pros

Blackbaud used to be a wonderful tech company to work for -- many of the team members are nice people who care about their work and clients.

Cons

CEO, COO and others all came from same huge white-guy-driven banking firm and have turned what was formerly a very cool tech company doing good work, into a very traditional, old-fashioned, boring corporation. They refer to engineers as the "Software Factory." Do not waste your time if you're looking for a remote opp or even a flexible situation. If hired, expect to move to CHS (expensive plus lots of traffic) and sit in the new open-concept HQ all day long like it's the 1950's. (Bring your headphones if you expect to concentrate!)

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!
