One of the best MNCs I worked with - Sr. Product Manager Avalara Employee Review

Good org Solid product Good middle mgmt.

Like every SaaS org direction as a whole is a bit turbulent Needs to figure out how to properly lean into Enterprise

- Passionate employees who "remember the good times before Vista" and want to get back to it (they all think this upcoming IPO will fix things, but I have strong doubts and I expect a large layoff to artificially inflate the company's value under the guise of "AI efficiency"). - A strong interest in AI technologies (even if leadership has no idea or expertise on how to effectively implement it, and don't provide employees enough time to implement AI techniques effectively). - Nice facilities - Market product leader

- Constant, daily new priorities requiring constant reactivity and preventing meaningful work from being done. This tramples the boots on the ground employees - Toxic work culture due to a private equity fixation on bottom-line optimization. Resist, and you'll be fired. Observed many new leaders last less than 6-months, - Constant layoffs and offshoring/outsourcing to Pune, India. No understanding of these strategies, leaving no geographical balance based on needs or strategy - As a result of gutting the People Operations teams, there are no formal job profiles and performance reviews are based on popularity and subjectivity - Overworked and burned out employees across the company - Pushy, angry, and rude cross-team relationships. Many sales and operations leaders model this after executive leadership and think this is the only way to get things done.
