Pros

I actually learned a lot while I was working for PICS Auditing (now Avetta). There are skills that I picked up that have helped me in my current position. The thing is, I didn't learn these skills because I had a great teacher. I learned because it was a sink or swim environment. I was one the lucky ones that did not get laid off, but rather I left on my own accord.

Cons

I think it isn't fair call us bitter ex-employees when we leave a negative review. I am not a bitter employee and I left on great terms. I made friends and chalked my experience up to a learning one. I learned a lot about what I am capable of because I figured things out. I was actually quite impressed with my capabilities. The truth is the environment was really toxic when I was there. I understand the stress others are talking about because I experienced the same myself. I still have friends that work at Avetta and from what they say things have not gotten better. I am not saying that the entire company is bad. There are really great people there that will take the time to teach and mold you. However, this is not a company you will be able to retire from. You could possibly get promoted but a lot of that is short lived. I noticed the downfall when John Herr took over. I am sure there are reasons for the constant lay offs that are business related. I understand that there will always be difficult decisions that an executive team has to make. My personal experience was that environment is not a warm one and a lot of people were scared. I decided that I personally could not take living in fear longer so I decided to part ways. I wasn't around when the founders had control over the business, but from what I was told it is like night and day. In my opinion, I would not apply at Avetta.

Avetta has changed tremendously over the past two years. The organization went from a wildly successful, owner-operated business to a high growth investor owned organization. Any organization that goes through this sort of structural change will emerge as a different company; perhaps broader communication around this was needed real time and when the changes were taking place. The decisions made by the Executive team are painstaking. Running a high velocity growing SaaS business requires intelligence, speed, analysis and heart. Avetta is lucky to have a leadership team that is comprised of such a unique mix. To you, thank you for your review. Kudos for not choosing fear! We were grateful for all that you gave while here and we are stoked about your choice, for you, for what was best for you. With appreciation and respect.

Pros

Everyone seems to want you to succeed, they are willing to hop on a call, record a video or even help build a document. There are some highly talented people here to learn from. The product is strongly positioned and functions well.

Cons

There are many teams involved in the process. At times the team is siloed but making strong efforts to break down the silos and even so people are happy to connect
