Pros

Excellent culture and environment. Decent benefits and perks and generally good relationships with middle management and teammates.

Cons

Pay is below average. Upper management is basically entirely absent, in my time at Avature I've barely noted their existence, as they haven't bothered to make themselves present. Negotiating a raise is extremely difficult, and only really considered once the threat of leaving the firm is present. Internal mobility is technically there, but is an overly lengthy process. Promotions often come way after you've already taken on the responsibilities associated with it, but not the pay raise, as was the case with myself and a few coworkers.

First of all, we’re sorry that you felt voiceless during your time here. Listening to Avaturians is important to us and we’re constantly reviewing our internal processes to improve communication, so we take this feedback to heart. With that said, we’d like to elaborate on some points. Each career path is unique and our performance review process is designed to enable us to update compensation for each Avaturian yearly as their career demands. Likewise, every mobility process has its own needs and some require a more gradual transition. Avature has a lot of moving pieces and it’s true that this can sometimes take a while. As for leadership, we want our leaders to provide context more than direct orders, but they (and other referents) are always open for dialogue. Communication and collaboration are major pillars of our culture.

Pros

* Competitive salaries (especially for lower positions) * Excellent work environment. Really fun, easy-going and helpful people in general. * Good career growth opportunities as the company is constantly expanding and there are always challenges to tackle and appreciation for looking at what needs to be done and doing it.

Cons

All of these have their caveats but they are ongoing issues. * Bad work-life balance. It's not encouraged nor asked for but most people are overworked and working longer shifts than what would ideal because of a very fast-paced rate of growth and teams being always short-handed. * Opaque HR policies. Specially considering mobility opportunities that appear out of the blue with no formal process that could open them up for lower profile or laid back employees. * Sometimes chaotic, the product is great but it has yet to mature in some aspects (agile development mixed with some technical debt) nut internal organization in the midst of such growth takes a back seat. All this is to be expected and challenging to fix but more efforts could be invested. Specially by increasing hiring to give room for some teams to improve their processes, reduce their technical debt and get to a better work life balance.

Pros

Avature's Platform is cutting edge technology in Talent Acquisition and Talent Management and as such, the company is very well positioned to continue to expand their market share and enter hyper growth at any moment now.

Cons

Working in a software company that is already growing at 35% YTY and might start to grow faster soon means you constantly need to adapt to change and that you have a sensation of chasing out something that never comes: stability. But if you enjoy a great challenge, then this is the right place for you.
