      A Formerly Magical Place to Work - Anonymous employee Avalara Employee Review

      Pros

      Avalara will always have a wonderful place in my heart. The work can frequently be psychotic but the culture and people there are wonderful. Sadly, this culture is no more. I unfortunately cannot encourage anyone be consider Avalara due to its stellar former reputation and as a chaotic but fun place to work. Hard work will not be rewarded. You are nothing but an expense to your leadership and the company no longer strives to continue to innovate. The products are no longer the best in breed as they were for so long. It is so disappointing that I cannot in good faith give it the 5 star review that most of my time there was spent experiencing; it is Avalara in name alone now.

      Cons

      With its acquisition, Avalara no longer values their talented employees and see the product offering as a mature product, no longer requiring elite talent, and only focuses on reducing salary expenses. Do NOT consider Avalara if you are in Seattle as the company has intentionally been trying to reduce their Seattle presence by any means possible.

      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.
