Pros
So far, my experience with AvalonBay from beginning to present day has been nothing but positive. First, almost every person I meet here is warm, friendly, but most importantly, ethical. Everyone cared about my on-boarding experience, and my first impressions of AvalonBay as a new employee. Managers and co-workers went above and beyond to make me feel welcome throughout my first 93 days at the company. In addition, AvalonBay's dedication to their customers and employees is exactly what you would expect from a large company with the means. Not only are salaries fair as far as I can tell, but they treat their employees to birthday cakes, congratulatory meals, etc. which is a little gesture that goes a long way. They also do everything they can to make residents happy, which makes it easier and more pleasant for me to do my job. I could continue, but I think what I've already written sums it up. AvalonBay is an ethical and fair company, with great people who consistently look to improve and remain industry leaders. I'm proud to work for this company!
Cons
Lotus Notes and SalesForce, but they are aware and already working on their replacements.
