Pros

They had free food and energy drinks. There was an office pool table with an office pool ranking. There was occasional office beer and pizza.

Cons

The pay was very poor. It was barely minimum wage. It was a threatening office environment. People were either being fired or afraid of being fired. The code quality was low. Everything was constantly being written and rewritten as fast as possible with little to no attention to long term maintainability. They forced you to work unpaid overtime hours and threatened you if you didn't.

We are always striving to compete for talented Software Developers. While your experience at AVA may not be what you had hoped for we support your decision to work somewhere else. For anyone reviewing these posts notice the date they are posted is between July 24th and July 31st. This could be one person's account or past employees from over 4 years ago voicing their opinions.

Pros

New CEO is sharp and focused, you can feel the momentum picking up Overall leadership is approachable and easy to reach out to Teammates are hardworking, collaborative, and genuinely care. Interesting space to work in (Ai + tech) with projects that move quickly Fully remote with solid benefits Opportunity to make an impact

Cons

Not the right place if you want everything handed to you - you have to be ok with figuring thing out on your own sometimes. Small team means you often wear multiple hats - something I enjoy, but others may not Fully remote setup isn't for everyone It can be a lot at times, but if you like solving problems and taking ownership, it's rewarding.
