Pros

There could be growth but be careful, the owner is watching you.

Cons

The owner is a micromanager. The culture is toxic, there are no values and it is really hard to get trust from him. Poor pay, poor vacation, poor leadership.

Avenza Systems Response
5y
Avenza is a vibrant and busy company with a lot on the go. The headcount has doubled in the last year (even under COVID) and most people who were here before that are still here. In fact the average is 6 years amongst current staff, including people who have joined recently. There are, of course ,at least 2 sides to every story and without knowing who you are it is difficult to respond properly, but what we can say, in general terms, is that management expects self-starting independent go-getters who do not require excessive or unwarranted oversight. There are many here who fit that bill and are left to do their work, add value and grow with the company. If, on the other hand, someone's experience is different from that, there are probably very good and justifiable reasons for it from a company and management perspective. So please, anyone reading this and considering employment with Avenza, ask yourself if you are an outgoing, hard-working self-starter with initiative or a run of the mill pack member who needs supervision and oversight. Thank you very much.

Pros

Wednesday free breakfast and summer bbq.

Cons

super micro managed. They're really breathing on your neck. They want people to fail than succeed instead of helping them improve, they find every smallest mistake and never motivates. people backstab each other. F word is a chewing gum for them. No professionalism.
