      Pros

      Exceptional Global Leadership: The global leadership team is one of the strongest reasons I enjoy working at Blackbaud. They are supportive, empathetic, approachable, and genuinely invested in employees’ growth and well‑being. They encourage us to speak our mind. Hybrid Work Policy: The hybrid working model is highly appreciated. It provides flexibility and helps employees maintain a healthy work–life balance. Healthy Work Culture (Globally): There is minimal to no micromanagement from global managers. Employees have the freedom to work independently, share ideas, and contribute meaningfully without unnecessary pressure.

      Cons

      Domestic People Management Concerns: Recently, the domestic people management team has created an environment that feels misaligned with Blackbaud’s global culture. Their approach lacks empathy, and many employees feel unheard and unsupported. New Leave Policy Issues: A new leave structure was introduced where leave balances are not provided upfront; instead, employees accrue leave month‑by‑month. This change feels restrictive and has been perceived by employees as discouraging the use of earned leaves. The reasoning provided — preventing employees from taking more leaves early in the year — feels unreasonable and dismissive of employees’ legitimate work‑life needs. Work‑from‑Home Restrictions: Although Blackbaud officially offers a hybrid arrangement, additional WFH requests are frequently denied, especially for employees outside Hyderabad. These rejections are often justified using “statutory” reasons, which do not seem to apply consistently across the organization. Global teams do not face these limitations, creating a sense of inequality and inconsistent employee experience.

      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!
