Pros
I worked at Azavar for almost a year, first as an intern and then as a part-time municipal analyst. Every day was a new challenge. I developed valuable skills in areas ranging from law to finance. I was in direct contact with local government officials/utility providers daily. I took on a host of responsibilities and duties immediately (a rare benefit not offered of positions today). Inter-departmental communication/collaboration was strong. Collaboration with co-workers was supportive, and there is a strong sense of office comradery. As a graduate student, I was supported by flexible middle and upper management to put my studies first (another rare quality).
For those who negatively reviewed this company, I can only say that any professional environment offers multiple personalities. Some personalities mesh together and some do not. Azavar’s working environment requires proactive, intelligent, and ambitious employees. To be successful at this company, one must be able to learn quickly, work productively, communicate effectively, and think analytically.
Overall, I had a great experience working at Azavar. I highly recommend this company to anyone with backgrounds in economics, finance, accounting, public administration, law, or political science.
Cons
It is hard to come up with criticisms against Azavar. This is a good company to work for.
