Pros

Success starts with the right people. These are some of the best I've worked with in my 18 year career. Choosing to spend off-hours with valued co-workers speaks volumes about the Avalara experience. Freedom to be involved in a wide range of projects and strategic initiatives is another key benefit of the Avalara experience. It's important to recognize and appreciate when we find ourselves working at a great company that's recognized as a leader in a growing industry. This is one of those times.

Cons

I'd like to see more opportunities for cross-departmental networking. We're growing rapidly and it's a challenge to keep track of new employees joining our ranks.

Pros

It's an exciting place to work if you like tackling projects of every size and shape. There are lots of smart people here and plenty of opportunity for someone who wants to grow their career and expand their boundaries.

Cons

Of course there are growing pains. Strategies can change quickly. There is at times inefficiency in implementing process without key stakeholder approval, then conversely change is too slow because decisions are too consensus-driven. This is mostly expected I would say with other similar companies.

Pros

I have an amazing boss and my immediate team is just great. I am offered independence and autonomy in my work and I know that I have 100% support when I need it from anyone on my team. Open, transparent communication, fun, driven people - one of the most positive work environments I have ever had. The product is exceptional and driven by a highly intelligent, creative and innovative team. Everyone puts in their best effort and is able to stay playful while working hard.

Cons

The Seattle to Bainbridge commute is a little long, but it is also beautiful and peaceful and subsidized by the company. I don't really feel like I can complain about that, although I know that has been a point of contention for some.

Thank you for sharing some of the things we see in our company that makes it so great. We continue to hire talented men and women to join our team. And, as for the commute…you are right, there are worse commutes out there than a ferry ride across Puget Sound. Many of our Seattle commuters came into the office last week talking about the Orcas swimming alongside the ferry on their way to work. Not a bad way to start the day!
