      Pros

      Nice people. Enjoyed some of my teammates. Good work life balance.

      Cons

      This is not a serious IT shop. They have no regard for industry best practice. Security is a joke. No QA, no Active Directory management, no identify management, poor architecture and technical debt that will take years and years to overcome. Leadership has been at BlackBaud for decades and they are not open to new ideas from new employees coming to BlackBaud from the outside. Management is fine with letting customers struggle with poor performance. They will get around to fixing it eventually. There is a very high turnover rate and anyone who is a serious IT pro does not stay around very long.

      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!
