Pros

Avalara truly has great people working for the company. The culture is strong, we wear orange and are out in the market having fun which is appreciated internally but also by our prospects, customers and partners. There is potential to make very good money along with enjoying many other great benefits that other companies i have worked for have not offered. Avalara does not hesitate to invest in software and other tools that help their employees do their jobs more efficiently and effectively.

Cons

There has been a lot of turnover at all levels which is not a bad thing because it brings new ideas and perspective to the company. With these new ideas and frameworks there has been a lot of change and shifting goals so you need to be adaptable to keep up. The loss of longtime employees also leaves a gap of institutional knowledge which can make finding answers to questions challenging.

Pros

New CEO = New Hope

Cons

HR leadership needs an overhaul. The culture is toxic and HR leadership is driving it, not stabilizing it. You really want to know what’s going on, get all level feedback - including I2’s without retaliation, not the confidential bs that is given back to the managers. Yes, everything is shared back with the managers. Check on the Talent Acq team, HR Ops and Total Rewards. There is great talent on those teams that you will lose if you don’t act quickly. You’ve already lost many and you can’t afford to lose more. And when a leader leave, care to talk to the team about what’s really going on. Part-time “leader” bs is just bs. HR leader doesn’t care but they should! Culture does not equal orange. Actually, change the color if you can.
