Pros

Fully Remote Work Somewhat beneficial time off structure

Cons

- This company prides itself on its remote first culture, but doesnt actually do anything to support their remote employees. They do not help with your home office, wifi, nothing. You basically sacrifice a shot at a decent workspace for the "privilege" to get to work from work. Consider that you will likely have to spend 500 dollars to outfit your office when you start. The company just takes the savings from not having an office to make their shareholders happy and achieve the rule of 40. -Be prepared for a ton of turnover and for a ton of extra work to be thrown in your lap as a result of layoffs or people quitting. The hiring process is terrible and often takes months for positions to be filled. You will not receive anything extra for doing extra work. -Related to the extra work, do not expect that this will lead to a promotion or higher salary, there isn't really any advancement opportunities inside BlackBaud, consider the role that you will be doing and the role you will be in for the next 4 or 5 years.

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!

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!
