Pros

My fellow employees who feel the horrible way we are treated at this company!

Cons

The entire feeling of the company. There is zero culture here. ZERO. And please spare me the nice comments Avetta when you reply to my rating. Say it to my face and not when it matters in the public eye. Here is the real deal - I have been with Avetta (formerly PICS Auditing) for almost two years now. Since my time, I have seen 3-4 groups of people getting fired for a so called "restructuring" only to see their replacements start right away. We are all standing in line to be fired. No one is safe, well unless you are John Herr and the "founders". They are cashing in on our lives is how a lot of us feel. We often joke that everyday could be our last day here because nothing is stable. The morale is at an all time low. The only way we get some laughter is when we read the "great" reviews on here about this place. We know who you are that is writing them. I have often walked past John Herr in the hallway and he won't even look me in the eye or say hello. Please listen when I say this, do not apply here. Do not accept a job here unless you love to be on unemployment. I have had to seriously consider going on anti-depressants because my whole life has been affected with the hostility I have felt since working here. The reason why I stay? I want the severance package. I feel like I deserve it after all I have been through.

Well, there we have it. This officially our worst review. This one takes the cake or takes the air out of the balloon or the fun out of our day. Even though you may not enjoy Avetta, we value and cherish you. Your contribution has shaped the organization and what you do each day is building towards our future. Thank you for all that you do. We see you as a team member and we are proud to rise together. The past few years have been both amazing and difficult at Avetta. We understand that our high growth organization is not for everyone. It takes a great deal of individual and team fortitude to be one of the fastest growth companies in Orange County. Where we are headed has our sights set very high but demands a lot from everyone involved. We have a dare for you and for anyone interviewing with our organization: Say hello to John when you see him. Yup, just a simple "hi". You will be astonished to get to know a bright, humble, genuine and kind individual. I guess the only truth we can convey with regards to this review is to borrow the words of Dr. Seuss: "So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act." With the good, comes the bad and in the end the truth is in the middle.

Pros

Everyone seems to want you to succeed, they are willing to hop on a call, record a video or even help build a document. There are some highly talented people here to learn from. The product is strongly positioned and functions well.

Cons

There are many teams involved in the process. At times the team is siloed but making strong efforts to break down the silos and even so people are happy to connect
