Pros

Working with non-profits, who aren't always technically savvy but are working to make the world a better place. Being here allows you to contribute in a small way to something bigger.

Cons

HR posts reviews on this site - beware of positive reviews! Let's play Mad Libs! I was an employee for [TIME PERIOD] in [DEPARTMENT]. Mushroom management was [BOVINE WASTE]. Pay was [NOUN, AS SWATCH IS TO ROLEX]. Opportunities for advancement, if you aren't in Charleston, [CIRCLE ONE] do/do not exist. Technology is [ADJECTIVE FOR AGE] - they're now buying companies to update their offering. Raises come [ADVERB FOR WHEN DONKEYS FLY], bonuses are [INSERT YOUR OWN JOKE HERE]. Treatment of employees is [ADVERB FOR INSULTING]. Only work here if you can find [ADVERB FOR ZERO] else. All kidding aside, when you leave, you will not be paid out for unused vacation and your health insurance stops the very day you leave. If it's mid-month, and you get hit by a bus the next day, well, [MIDDLE FINGER]

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!
