Avalara reviews

Working at Avalara is like being in an abusive relationship. Some departments are better than others depending on who is managing and some people handle the stress better than others, but overall, a challenging place to work. Nepotism runs rampant, and is fine if the employees are hard workers and pull their weight, but too often others have to pick up the slack and correct repeated and frustrating errors (seriously a few people are moved from area to area because they have failed spectacularly but because they have some sort of pull with a VP, they are never fired, nor can you criticize them). Overt sexism. Working here is not for the faint of heart. High employee churn occurs because management considered workers to be disposable and condones toxic management styles. Online reviews are followed closely and employees (especially new ones) are "encouraged" to cover bad reviews by posting lots of "good" reviews.

The office on the island feels a bit cramped. I wish I knew more about what was coming in the future. A few years ago this was no problem, but as we continue to grow, it feels like the other teams have become silos.
