Avalex Technologies Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Avalex Technologies: One of the worst places you will ever work. Let's start at the top. CEO - The CEO and owner will attack you with personal insults and berates instead of constructive criticism. His leadership style (if you can call it that) is based upon belittlement, yelling, and coming in at the last minute of a project to make major changes which should have been established in the nonexistent planning phase that Avalex Technologies desperately needs. If he wants his company to succeed, he needs to get out of the way and let people that know how to lead, lead. Management - There are two managers that have been there for quite a while. They are good at what they do. The rest of the management positions are vacant or filled with rather new people because the company cannot retain or hire good talent. The average time a new manager spends at Avalex Technologies is about a year and a half before they cannot take it anymore and get out. HR - HR does not have the best interests of the employees in mind and is highly under qualified to say the least. Rather, HR is more of a mouthpiece of the CEO that makes empty promises. There is no official training program at Avalex Technologies for people to learn to build new products or operate new machines. So much knowledge is word-of-mouth that if a few key people leave, the company could be paralyzed. Employees - This is the one good part about Avalex. There are some pretty good and smart people that work here. Most people are just stuck in a bad situation until they can find a better company so, you bond over that shared pain. All in all, unless you are hard-up for money and cannot find any other job to pay the bills (seriously, even serving is a better job than Avalex Technologies), or if you just really love being personally berated and undervalued, do not waste your time at Avalex Technologies."

"I enjoy working with the employees and management of Avalex Technologies. The environment is excellent."

"Thankful for the job but thoroughly disappointed by leadership there."

What do you like about working at Avalex Technologies?

"The pay is the only thing remotely attractive. Other than that it's an absolutely dreadful experience based in over-laiden schedules, ridiculous deadlines, and public attacks on you, your team and your coworkers by management."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you're interviewing with Avalex, don't.... Just run, it's a waste of time and you will find your experience thoroughly disappointing. Promises of promotions, opportunity, and role-expansion are all false-- and made just to get you in the door and working what will no doubt amount to be countless - salary - based hours of overtime with no thanks, appreciation, or commendation. You get nothing more than a paycheck and some medical benefits, no reward of a job well done since most projects end in disaster or derailment."

What don't you like about working at Avalex Technologies?

"The gossip, the big talk-little action management, and lack of a clear/defined path in the organization. There is no plan, and it's pretty much 'every man for himself'."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Start trusting your leaders. Treat your employees with respect, especially when they sacrifice personally for the company. Try to better yourself as a leader instead of belittling and attacking your employees when projects aren't to your level of satisfaction. Learn how to motivate through inspiring your team instead of through fear and terroristic tactics."
