HR interview, an online psychometric test, call with hiring manager. But please do not bother doing interview with them if you respect yourself and your time. I reached all the way to hiring manager stage but never heard anything back. I reached out to HR for an update to which they reply only after reaching out at least twice and even after 2 weeks of the interview I was told there is no update from hiring manager and then just started ghosting.
- Just normal question about your previous experience.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in New Delhi
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Avalara (New Delhi) in Sep 2023
The interview process, while extensive with 7 rounds, was surprisingly rigorous. I successfully progressed through all 7 rounds, and the interviewers seemed genuinely impressed. However, after HR inquired about my salary details, I was left in the dark with no follow-up communication. It left me puzzled and somewhat frustrated, as I had to initiate contact to learn that I had been rejected for unspecified reasons. This experience led me to wonder if they had already chosen an internal candidate but continued the formalities for legal reasons.
- Programming, site reliability engineering questions

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Durham, NC
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Avalara (Durham, NC) in Sep 2023
The first interview is very brief. My interviewer was very difficult to like because she kept interrupting me or saying that she didn't like my answers. Then told me to complete the CCAT assessments with 0 consideration for accommodations to my disability. Then after a follow-up email, I was called within minutes saying "I don't know why you think you would get this job and we aren't considering you due to the cognitive tests. Please look at other roles if you feel necessary." Overall, very off-putting and a true reflection of the culture at Avalara.
