I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Avalara
Interview
The recruiter was a bit unorganized and poor consistency of communication. Some days responses would be quick, then quite slow. They would often ask for something and despite a quick response, their feedback would take too long. Poor communication and follow up after multiple rounds. No offer, but after this and a previous interview experience, I'm not sure it would have been the right environment anyway.

Thank you for sharing your interview experience. We appreciate your feedback and your perspective on areas where we can improve.
Rounds with recruiter, peer panel, hiring manager. Generic behavioral and process based questions, nothing out of ordinary. The hiring manager and recruiter ghosted after 3rd interview, which was very disappointing.

I applied online. I interviewed at Avalara (Durham, NC) in Feb 2026
Interview
Virtual interview with the recruiter. Goes through questions like "walk me through your resume, why do you think you would be best suited for this role" etc. Then you have to take a behavioral & cognitive assessment before scheduling an interview with hiring manager.
