Pros

Decent variety of helpful benefits.

Cons

Decreasing budget with increasing workload and an insane amount of red tape, down to the most insignificant of decisions. No recognition or acknowledgement for going above and beyond. Focus on DEI is disingenuous and performative. Reduction of work flexibility in the name of “collaboration” even though many teams are disbursed and have proven to perform well virtually. Overall tone from the top is a lack of trust. It’s sad to watch the devolution of what was once a great company since AvalonBay no longer lives its values.

Pros

Company culture makes you really appreciate where you work. I definitely agree that is the "people" at AVB that make it great.

Cons

Nothing really... sometimes it is a bit of a struggle to wear so many hats.
