Pros

Helping non-profits as a side effect of making money for senior execs. It feels good helping so many good causes but sometimes you wonder how much you are really helping them vs just making money.

Cons

They do not value their employees and their Austin office is terrible. Pay is below average there is a lot of vague pressure to do better, somehow. They tell employees to wait for it to get better but they do nothing to really help. The office in Austin is terrible and they make no effort to actually make it better. Whoever is spending money on that office is completely inept.

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!
