Pros

Fast paced, fast growing SaaS company. You have the ability to make a difference. Want something to change? Present it to senior management and good ideas will be taken into consideration. Fun, smart people all dedicated to accomplishing big things. Fantastic culture. Great team environment, constant training and personal development, and strong senior management.

Cons

This is the right company for the right person. But if you're not smart and flexible, it can be challenging. Things are always changing, so you have to keep up. Company also has had a tendency to hire externally for senior roles.

Pros

The people here are smart and fun. Seriously a fun company. Beer on draft in the "tiki lounge" and the offices are baller. I split time between Seattle office and the Bainbridge location and while I was worried about the ferry it has been the coolest commute I have ever had. There is wifi on the boat and lots of Avalara people with me so I get work done or have meetings or just hangout with people. The business is doing really well and has lots of opportunity ahead. The company's growth in size and product footprint means there is big interesting work to be done and lots opportunities for people to jump in. I've worked at companies before where you are always stepping on someone's toes. Not the case here. I saw one of the other reviews here said something like “wants to be a startup but isn’t.” BS. Avalara is the biggest player in a market that is desperate for disruption. The company shipped a new product offering this month and 4 months ago their wasn’t a line of code written. Pretty cool.

Cons

Because of the company's growth in size and product footprint there is a lot of work to be done. While weekends are pretty free it definitely isn't a good fit for people looking for a 9 to 5 job in most parts of the company. Also, not a good fit for people that only want to do one thing or have ever said "that isn't my job." The frenetic pace can boarder on crazy at times.
