Pros

Cool product that is always improving. Competitive space but finding ways to differentiate. Go getter team that works hard. Awesome marketing team. Intelligent C-levels. I think Avoma will make a mark and wish them the best.

Cons

Cheap - and not in a good way. There is cost-effective, and then there is cheap which is what Avoma is, illustrated by the following: Low end pay, continual pay cuts, 0 commission if under 50% of quota. 2-week severance (if that), crap benefits. Every single AE that was hired in the last year has been let go except one. Avoma is the definition of where you don't want to work if you care about having a positive experience, growing with the company, having tenure more than 6-10 months, being mentored instead of monitored, and being seen as an asset instead of a liability. CEO seems to micromanage the wrong things - for example, listening to reps calls at 2am and tearing them apart, meanwhile there are are no strategic partnerships, in place, no sales collateral, no case studies, limited strategy other than work harder in the exact manner the CEO wants.

Pros

- Great engineering team in the US - Solid Compensation and raises - Autonomy - Interesting product and problems to solve. Scope is very broad.

Cons

- Wish we had full time designer or product function in the US - Some areas of the product are great, other more legacy functions could use some polish and love. - Competitive product space. New players pop up all the time - Lack of product and design thinking (kind've a good enough mentality vs best in class ux) amongst some engineering pods (particularly mobile) can lead to a worse product experience which teams then have to clean up after the fact once C level management or users complain . We also no longer have a PM function so engineers have the responsibility of creating product requirements themselves.
