Pros
Free beer which you will need to get through the day. The product they are trying to perfect is very needed in the marketplace. Other companies are starting to catch up, but Avalara was there first which they spend a lot of time leaning on.
Cons
The company has lost its way a couple of years ago. Politics rule the day. The managers are nearly all morally bankrupt liars. Lots of 'old boys' running the show. It is so dysfunctional that it makes me angry and sad. They will make the IPO go, but then they need to get rid of the lame and inept management and replace it with people who actually have ability and care about creating a sustainable company. Management only cares about getting their stock and retiring. Don't bother to work here until current management is pushed out. There are so many better places to work in Seattle than here.
