Pros

- Spend a lot of money on top notch training from the people who "write the books" on how to do Inspired product management and agile product development right. - The products delivered help great non-profits fulfill their missions of making the world a better place - There are some awesome amazing great wonderful people who work there

Cons

- they don't care about employee retention: after the Convio acquisition there has been a mass exodus of dozens of really talented and knowledgeable staff. - Charleston-based salary ranges mean that if you are outside Charleston, your salary will stagnate and not rise with the market - for mid-level individual contributors who are in the primary "growth" phase of their career, there is little-to-no opportunity to grow within the company. If you want to be promoted, you have to leave

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!
