Business Outlook
Pros
Category-defining company in a new and potentially huge global market. Strong core products with a stable base of loyal, satisfied customers. Genuine effort to create happy, fun workplace. Smart CEO, patient investors with deep pockets.
Cons
Start-up business & culture now struggling with stale thinking, weak management, departmental inertia and growing employee ennui. Avalara values loyalty over performance and top performers must find their own motivation to excel. Executive and senior management largely disconnected from their front-line employees. Difficult to effect change, especially across departments. Smart, focused competitors finding traction in Avalara's markets.
