Pros

The cult of the customer runs deep...this goes for internal and external customers. We are like family. I have always felt like I am contributing to a great cause. I knew nothing about tax before coming here and I must say that Avalara makes it fun! I have held two positions on two very different teams here and have loved them both. I have never had to worry about a “toxic” work environment because everyone is part of the team and they are so nurturing. If you like to work hard and play hard, this is THE place to be! From a Tiki themed lunch room to summer BBQ’s for the entire family the company really knows how to make us feel appreciated.

Cons

Is there anything bad to say about this company?! I have yet to experience anything worth noting as a negative.

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.
