Pros

Wonderful team members! Everyone is so talented and is willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. Honestly, the most talented group of individuals I have ever worked with. Work/Life balance and unlimited PTO Health benefits are great and they provide a nice EAP program that is beneficial, especially if you have a family. 2-3 in-person meetings that allow you to connect and bond with your team.

Cons

Pay is not that great, you have to constantly beg and gravel for them to pay what you are actually worth in the industry. High turn over rate - they seem to love to lay people off (especially those who are pregnant or have significant life changes coming up), people are constantly quitting or getting fired. The wrong people are getting laid off or fired. The CEO is a trickster. She appears to act like she cares about your career growth and your concerns, but eventually finds ways to stunt your growth or you get laid off. Lack of diversity in leadership roles. There is not one person of color in a VP role and up. Aside from a couple of directors on the team, any person of color who has gotten close to even getting a director role has been laid off or fired.

Pros

Passionate Brand & Employees: Avaline’s mission and branding are strong, making it exciting to be part of something that feels authentic and intentional. You can also see this with the people at the company as well, they really believe in the brand Smaller Team Environment: Offers more autonomy and the ability to make a direct impact. Work From Home: The ability to work remotely adds convenience and flexibility to your routine. The team is accommodating if something comes up, allowing you to adjust your schedule as needed.

Cons

Startup Quirks: As a small and growing company, not everything is fully figured out yet. There are still some quirks and evolving processes as the team works through startup challenges.

Pros

Company is only 5 years old but does not function at all like a start up. They hired the right people with decades of experience and everything runs smoothly.

Cons

There is a stated desire for the company to be acquired relatively soon, so that is somewhat unsettling for employees.
