Pros

Some smart folks and lots of 'good souls' trying to do right by their teams and the company.

Cons

Too many to list now - read the reviews and not the ones generally from Pune if you want the real story here in the US. It seems cliche - but Vista's playbooks are well known and Avalara is in the middle of the reduce costs, outsource and shine up so it can be taken public again. They are firing people quietly via any means possible - mostly PIP's that are not achievable. This is part of the playbook so bad press isn't in the open public. So unfortunate but can't say I fault shareholders - they made money. The company - orange is not so much orange anymore as blood red.

Pros

Is Avalara a great place to work? It depends on the team you are on. Pros: - I love my team. I have great co-workers. I feel like leadership to the VP level understands the value we bring and advocates for our work throughout the company - I like being able to go into the office and see people and bounce ideas around - My manager is always pushing me to learn new things and get out of my comfort zone - We just got a new CEO and I am super excited about him and his vision. Everyone who has actually been in meetings with him is excited too.

Cons

It depends on the team you are on. Cons: - Some teams are not as curious/helpful as others. I often have to check and recheck the work they do, after I have chased them multiple times to even complete the work - The layoff fear is real, the idea that at any point your position could be eliminated because they want to keep that revenue per headcount KPI down is everywhere
