Pros

Great teammates and customers. Contributing to nonprofits with mostly great missions. Mostly good direct managers.

Cons

Senior leadership too beholden to the stock market and short term thinking. This has led to nearly annual layoff cycles, significant offshoring of jobs, and a deteriorating relationship with customers.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the many years you spent contributing to Blackbaud. We’re glad to hear that you valued your teammates, customers, and the opportunity to support nonprofits and missions that make a meaningful difference, as well as the positive relationships you had with many direct managers. We understand that perspectives can differ, particularly around leadership decisions and long-term direction, and we respect that this was your personal experience. As a company focused on social impact, we strive to balance the needs of our customers, employees, and the broader mission we serve, even though that balance may not always feel the same to everyone.

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!
