Avalara doesn't care about their employees

Product

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast passed & growing company, the products solve real issues in the tax world, get to work on challenging projects.

Cons

Avalara is 100% focused on growth and does not truly care about their employees. HR/benefits is disorganized and not available to support or consult around benefits, compensation, growth, etc. The culture is forced. Many folks feel challenged by the projects (positive), but frustrated by the way they are treated. Leadership does not always set clear priorities (they are getting better).
