Review from Product Dept
Great place to work for
Sometimes they insist on tight deadlines and overloaded agenda that undermine quality and efficiency
My direct manager is great. Managers above them - They don't care about us at all
they are fun and open people
Our direct reports are outstanding - they fight for us, they listen and give valuable but fair feedback. Director and VP level, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Lots of ego and refusal to listen to us in the trenches. Dismissiveness and weird verbal only restrictions on moving up
They have solid tech skills and you always see their vision.
I has been working for Avalara for 2 years. Everyday is a challenge as well as achievement. I love every minute of it!
The leadership team has shown signs of growing pains. It is clear they are evolving to meet the needs of a growing company.
There are a lot of them
The focus on operating as a team.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to creat a work/life balance and maybe try to learn what their department does. Lying to employees never works in the end, and they lie... a lot!
Professionalism and right now their number 1 priority should be ensuring their teams run well.
Communication and planning! Decisions are made in a vacuum with little or no communication as to why we make changes. Planning is generally limited to very short term. Sales leadership makes changes that affect here and now versus long term multi-year success.
Review from Sales Dept
There is absolutely no plan for career advancement of top performers.
Executive leadership doesn't seem to require that their reports get true and valid information from managers and employees below them
