This company is all about money; squeezing every dollar possible out of residents and working people into the ground. - Anonymous employee AvalonBay Communities Employee Review

There is a tremendous effort put into making things "look good" to the stock holders. Associates are measured so tightly to adhere to every possible metric imaginable, that the work load is completely driven by "which team has the best numbers". The result is an exhausting work environment that feels like the leaders are trying to get blood from a stone & don't really care about associates or residents. Also, duplicitous behavior from some of the exec team; giving directives, then passing the buck when the result doesn't pan out in their favor so they did not take the heat. Very dissapointing experience.
