Pros
Blackbaud is a nice mid-sized tech company in the beautiful city of Charleston SC. They use the positive attributes of Charleston for recruiting purposes. And while I agree with their stance, Charleston is not a metropolitan city by any means and won't appeal to techies from SF, SEA, or TX. A lot of emphasis on adopting Blackbaud culture and it goes a long way to be a team player.
Cons
Lacking true technology innovation. Revenue goals still rely on annual maintenance and software functionality upgrades. Flagship products use antiquated tools (e.g. VB 6) The culture does breed some indoctrination, and a lot of new hires become frustrated with the lack of innovation.
