      Pros

      Product that is needed, was forced to write something

      Cons

      Frat Boy Mentality-Horrible Culture Sales Leadership is brilliant, if you don't believe it just ask them Small fish in a small pond Clown Car time, micromanaging from people that have no business doing what they do Have another moonlighting as a consultant for other companies on Avalara time, not his own Lots of fake reviews on here, nobody is happy

      AVOID AT ALL COSTS

      Pros

      Great culture I'm sure the IPO will go great The product, by all accounts, is fantastic

      Cons

      I get the mentality needed for a startup company, but they use it as an excuse to be negligent in their operations and business dealings. It is run like an old boy's club from the 1950s. If you are not part of the sales organization you might as well not exist. If you are not sales, I promise you will either (a) mentally check out and begin punching the clock or (b) do the ethical thing and quit. After I started with my current employer they told me that they hired me "despite the fact I worked at Avalara"; that working at Avalara was a RED FLAG to them! TERRIBLE benefits (401k match and vacation are criminal); you're not getting in on the ground floor any more - your stock options will not make up the difference.

      BE WARNED!

      Pros

      Not any real pros with this company

      Cons

      Too many to list. This one company I cannot recommend. They set you up to fail! The company is very shady. Most people are related to each other or friends of friends. They do not give the tools to do your job successfully.
