Pros

Challenging and vibrant place to work, building a real product that every business can use. We seem to attract and hire better and better people all the time. Company expects you to take ownership, has Big Hairy audacious goals

Cons

Still need to train new people faster. As the company grows its harder to meet and know all the new people. The culture is important, and Avalara needs to ensure everyone new understands the reasons for the culture, and the goals and how they can impact them. Company needs more activities focused on meeting new employees.

Pros

Company has needed products - not difficult to educate or sell. Because of the niche that the product holds, the Company will do very well.

Cons

Very stressful. Company is run shooting from the hip with the President changing his mind almost every day - throwing spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks. No one talks to each other and no teamwork. A company of individuals with their heads down wearing earbuds.

Pros

The company culture is aces. Everyone is very driven and focused on their work, while still being friendly and open. Flexible work environment, can work from home when sick. There is a clear focus on results and growth, if you feel the same way you will fit right in. If not this might not be the best company for you. The company is growing which creates an exciting work atmosphere.

Cons

The pay is not yet commiserate with tec jobs on the other side of the water. This gap in pay is starting to shrink. They will probably need to expand their Seattle offices to accommodate growth and employee preferences.
