      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.

      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.
