Culture at Avalara? I would say we are a team of caring people. Everyone cares for each other professionally. When I say it, I really mean it. I have witnessed my team going extra miles to help each other fill the gaps in absence of someone, proactively help each other in sharing the knowledge, taking the time to conduct trainings. And most importantly, we are fun loving.
Vimal Santoki
Engineering Manager
I was really impressed when I was going through the overall interview process because at this juncture of my career, the challenging work as well as the culture of the company was really important for me. This was evident from all the interactions that I had with each person during the interview process. I could see that the people are passionate, they're enjoying what they're doing. Overall company culture is about employee care. I could feel that there is a lot of openness. People are approachable. So these were the attributes that I was considering in an employer. And this is how I joined Avalara.
Deepti Gaiki
Director, Security
The mission that we have here in Avalara, which we call our BHAG-- Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals-- it's quite good. We want to be a part of every transaction in the world, and that's a really big challenge and a really big goal. I basically fell in love with the goal and I really wanted to be a part of it.
