Pros

Avalara provides a vibrant, modern, thriving atmosphere. I feel valued and proud to be part of a unique company. I have read negative reviews of the company before I became an employee. Not my experience. (Squeaky wheel gets the grease). My advise to anyone investigating Avalara as a potential employer, research multiple business periodicals. The buzz and satisfaction metrics from customers are the real deal.

Cons

Located on Bainbridge Island, just across from the ferry dock. Small town feel yet cultured. You can experience a peaceful commute and be back in the city without getting in your car. Not a bad way to start or end your day (transportation benefits provided!) To look objectively for the sake of constructive criticism, I think Avalara will be experiencing growing pains with in the next few years, outgrowing newly modern architecture headquarters. Honestly, on the bright side this company is blowing up. Get in now.

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.
