      I'm not mad, just disappointed

      Pros

      I enjoy my day to day only because of the company and solidarity from other coworkers as they also understand the type of company we work for and the unnecessary stress it produces. I've been able to develop some skills here and for that I'm grateful.

      Cons

      The company is definitely going through a lot of growing pains and in the process losing a lot good people. Not a lot of confidence on work stability, regardless of the position. A strong lack of transparency and communication in their departments, to their employees, and in result, their customers. Not a lot of opportunity to further a career, I was told otherwise but the reality is very different. Sadly many of my coworkers have been strung along for too long. If you're reading and considering a job at this company my only advice is to value your time and know your worth. Don't waste it doing something that's not providing genuine fulfillment besides getting a check every two weeks and don't waste your talents on a company that won't act on compensating you for such fairly.

      Thank goodness that you are not mad but disappointed is not great either. :) We know for sure that Avetta is proud of you. Avetta appreciates you. Avetta thanks you. Avetta understands that growing pains are tough. When organizations evolve from being owner operated to investment backed, the entire paradigm can shift. We absolutely understand that the new demands change cultures, affect employees and transform organizations. HBR, WSJ, Consulting firms, and thousands of other publications write extensively about this exact transformation; no one formula leads to success. We also know that what got us here is not necessarily what will get us there. New leaders, new processes, new products, new platforms are all just pieces of a larger strategy that will guide our future. This holds true for our employees, as well. We are all being asked to take on new skills and new challenges together. It is great that you enjoy the day-to-day Avetta fun. The fact that you have developed skills and are grateful for them is the highest honor. You grabbed at an opportunity and that is all we can ask! #GreatAvettude

      Honest Review

      Pros

      I actually learned a lot while I was working for PICS Auditing (now Avetta). There are skills that I picked up that have helped me in my current position. The thing is, I didn't learn these skills because I had a great teacher. I learned because it was a sink or swim environment. I was one the lucky ones that did not get laid off, but rather I left on my own accord.

      Cons

      I think it isn't fair call us bitter ex-employees when we leave a negative review. I am not a bitter employee and I left on great terms. I made friends and chalked my experience up to a learning one. I learned a lot about what I am capable of because I figured things out. I was actually quite impressed with my capabilities. The truth is the environment was really toxic when I was there. I understand the stress others are talking about because I experienced the same myself. I still have friends that work at Avetta and from what they say things have not gotten better. I am not saying that the entire company is bad. There are really great people there that will take the time to teach and mold you. However, this is not a company you will be able to retire from. You could possibly get promoted but a lot of that is short lived. I noticed the downfall when John Herr took over. I am sure there are reasons for the constant lay offs that are business related. I understand that there will always be difficult decisions that an executive team has to make. My personal experience was that environment is not a warm one and a lot of people were scared. I decided that I personally could not take living in fear longer so I decided to part ways. I wasn't around when the founders had control over the business, but from what I was told it is like night and day. In my opinion, I would not apply at Avetta.

      Avetta has changed tremendously over the past two years. The organization went from a wildly successful, owner-operated business to a high growth investor owned organization. Any organization that goes through this sort of structural change will emerge as a different company; perhaps broader communication around this was needed real time and when the changes were taking place. The decisions made by the Executive team are painstaking. Running a high velocity growing SaaS business requires intelligence, speed, analysis and heart. Avetta is lucky to have a leadership team that is comprised of such a unique mix. To you, thank you for your review. Kudos for not choosing fear! We were grateful for all that you gave while here and we are stoked about your choice, for you, for what was best for you. With appreciation and respect.

      Pros

      New branding and seems like they're trying to bail out the already sunken ship.

      Cons

      Same business that had to rebrand from PICS to avoid all the terrible things being said about them. It might be a decent warning for potential employees to know their past loyalties and laissez-faire attitude towards those that work for them…

      Ouch. Seriously, we have a bruise left from this review. We appreciate the opinion but this one stung a bit. We can stand tall in knowing that whomever wrote this review was a valued employee. We know for certain that you were someone we appreciated and who without a doubt contributed to our success and to our future. If we did not say it loud enough when you left Avetta, we will shout it out here, thank you for all that you did while working here. Thank you for being you and for bringing your value to the company. To those considering Avetta, please check out our Glassdoor PICS Auditing site. The reviews range from fantastic to tough; we believe that it takes all types and it takes all opinions to give you a balanced perspective. Read them all and you will get to know us a little better. Our overall ratings as PICS Auditing are higher than when we rebranded as Avetta. To give perspective, we operated for 12+ years as PICS Auduting. If we invested company time and money into rebranding for Glassdoor purposes we could agree with a review suggesting that so. However, our rebranding effort is a reflection of a deeper transformation that our business is undertaking. Our rebranding came with a mammoth effort from many, many dedicated and intelligent individuals. Our rebranding made us question ourselves (would we risk losing customers, would they understand that Avetta=PICS, etc). In the end, our herculean rebranding effort, we believe, is one that best reflects who we are today: High growth SaaS business. To the lovely individual who wrote this review from the mountain tops we shout thank you for your time with us and thank you for the work you contributed while here. We respect all individuals and we appreciate all opinions (even when they sting).
