Pros

The services team works with some really great clients, and a lot of the problems are challenging and interesting. There is opportunity to travel if you want to. The pay can be good if you meet your billing targets. It's easy to work from home whenever you like.

Cons

Management is a zoo. They reorganize every few months, never with a clear purpose or direction. There is a real glass ceiling for technical folks, because upper management is always hired from outside, and they rarely have a technical background. This applies to the services team much more than the core product teams, I believe.

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!
