Pros

None that i can think of.

Cons

Total chaos from the top down. Leadership doesn't have a clue what Nonprofits actually value in a software vendor clearly. BB only cares about collecting invoice payments from Nonprofits, and how many fake paid "awards" they can apply for then blast all over LinkedIn about how amazing they are. Guess what people, Blackbaud pays money to get these industry awards, and in no way are they a representation of what clients think about Blackbaud. It's super sad how this company went from one of the best to one of the worst run charades in the Nonprofit Tech industry. I feel horrible for the nonprofits who are held hostage by Blackbaud.

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!
