Pros

The business Avalara is in makes sense. The people are certainly friendly and fun-loving. Flexible environment. Decent technology, as far as it goes.

Cons

Weakling management. More interested in creating a circus atmosphere than succeeding, probably because they don't know how to succceed. Several so-called senior managers think they are smarter than they really are. Activity is mistaken for strategy, the latter being absent. The culture is a chaotic hybrid of a harem + Animal House. Compensation is below average. Plenty of competition.

Pros

Avalara compensates their employees fairly. I love the company culture here. I work hard and have fun. Management is open to new ideas and encourages a team environment where peer helps peer. The training is terrific and the company culture is more relaxed than any company I have ever worked at. I love the color orange and how it is incorporated into the company culture. This is a great company with loads of potential.

Cons

I work at a remote office and there is a 3 hour time difference with many support people who are located at home office. Thankfully I have peers who are ready and willing to answer questions when needed.

Pros

The people at this company are great - friendly, passionate, and really want to create an atmosphere of having a good time while working hard. There is lots of room to learn and grow and there is always something to do so the days are never boring. The atmosphere is dynamic and energizing.

Cons

Salaries are lower than similar companies. Problems are often treated in a silo fashion when they are really multidimensional and need a cross functional approach.
