Pros

The cult of the customer runs deep...this goes for internal and external customers. We are like family. I have always felt like I am contributing to a great cause. I knew nothing about tax before coming here and I must say that Avalara makes it fun! I have held two positions on two very different teams here and have loved them both. I have never had to worry about a “toxic” work environment because everyone is part of the team and they are so nurturing. If you like to work hard and play hard, this is THE place to be! From a Tiki themed lunch room to summer BBQ’s for the entire family the company really knows how to make us feel appreciated.

Cons

Is there anything bad to say about this company?! I have yet to experience anything worth noting as a negative.

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
