Avalara Reviews

Pros

Benefits (19 days of PTO after you have been here more than a year, stock options, yearly bonus) Co-workers are nice Managers are nice

Cons

Lack of transparency It's hard to get a promotion because you basically have to wait until you have been here a while. There aren't a lot of upper positions that you can get promoted up to. You just stay in your role and maybe get a promotion in your role (like from Tax Research Analyst 1 to Tax Research Analyst 2).

Pros

Good benefits and fair pay. Excellent focus on employee well being from HR. The CMO made a good, bold decision to reorg the department in order to scale the business and fuel growth. Great focus on developing repeatable processes and shared services.

Cons

A senior marketing leader lacks basic interpersonal skills and does not support their team, diminishing trust and morale. They lack an understanding of how the business functions and the ability to work successfully with other marketing leaders and teams. This creates unnecessary confusion and slows growth and progress.

Pros

-One can wear anything to work so long as it was decent. -Ability to work remote during covid. -401k match has been increased by 2%. -Free salads were sometimes offered in the work place.

Cons

-Micromanagement in the Comms Department. -Working long hours and weekends. There is no family life balance. -Very little room for growth. -Being offered a new role and in less than a month of being in the new role, reverted to old role because of not learning fast enough. Challenges that one opens up with their managers in the new role are used by managers to justify their need of reverting a person to the old role. -Favoritism and backstabbing in the work place. Beware of cliques in the office. Beware of sabotaged from previous managers when it comes to tansferring to new roles within the department. -Cannot cash out your PTO. - Cannot roll over your retirement contributions from other jobs. -Lack of communication.

Pros

Cons

Benefits, be sure to really read them, as many won't apply to you unless you've been at the company for year Onboarding Management Office politics Depending on who your manager is room for advancement is unlikely Management pits coworkers against one another Don't ask for help here, they will simply send you a wiki link

*Operates like a very large start-up *Tremendous growth

Pros

Great benefits. Very understanding of work/life balance. For Product, unless meetings were required to be in the office, work could be done remotely even pre-covid. Worked on a lot of exciting projects and even participated in some of the ERG groups to try to bring visibility to the inequality that exists in the workplace (LGBTQ+ community, veterans, women, persons of color, etc.)

Cons

A lot of internal politics, even for a smaller remote office that was later shut down after covid.
