Pros

The only pros to working for Blackbaud was the opportunity to learn their technology tools so I could become an independent RE and NetCommunity consultant.

Cons

Where do I start? A culture entirely focused around selling whatever you could - be it outdated products or professional services rooted in falsehoods - and as much of it as you could. Sell a client 50 licences when they only need 10 - fine. Sell a client 20 days services when they only need 5 - fine. The technology company equivalent of a rogue plumber or car mechanic - only this time robbing charities of thousands of pounds. Also, rampant sexism everywhere.

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!
