Thank you are taking the time to leave a review on Avinode. We try hard to be an attractive place to work both in terms of compensation and our working environment across the Göteborg, Miami and Portland offices. Given your comments, it sounds like we are halfway there with more to do. On our products, we build software for the private jet industry across the world. If you don’t like aviation, we may not be the employer for you. On our leadership style, we know we are not perfect, but as leaders across our business, we try to live up to core values every day. If you want to get in contact with me and tell me where we could be better, I will welcome the chance. Oliver, CEO

Pros

Fantastic benefits, remote working, global team, great office, great culture

Cons

My manager was absolutely viscous and nobody can protect you from such individuals. The job demands were unrealistic, the constant criticism, lack of boundaries, abusive conduct, inability to respond to requests or to give feedback or to provide project briefs. It was really miserable and gave me bad anxiety

Pros

- Considering how antiquated the private jet charter industry is, Avinode has been an industry disruptor that is progressive and innovative. - Great benefits overall (100% paid health care, 401K company contribution, end-of-year profit share, 15 days PTO for new employees, 20 days PTO for employees with 2+ years) - Work-life balance is awesome. While you may still answer emails after work, many of demands can wait until the next work day. - If you prove yourself and go above and beyond, there will inevitably be areas for professional growth. - Management I've worked with have been very understanding when it comes to personal matters and flexibility. I also believe that much of this has to do with the trust and work ethic I've put in over the past few years. - The general aviation industry is an exciting, fast-paced industry that sometimes feels like one happy yet dysfunctional family. Lucky for Avinode, we as a technology company don’t get involved in the dysfunctional aspect but hear all about it. - Co-founders are passionate to make their vision a reality. - Marketing does a terrific job with branding and communications and helps keep Avinode the “cool, smart kids” in the industry. - Dynamic work environment with lots of energy. I enjoy coming to work every day. - Work hard, play hard mentality. - Avinode has built solid trust in the industry and will continue to make headway through technological innovations.

Cons

- Collaborative work environment is great but is dependent on everyone pulling their weight. Sometimes your performance can be hindered by someone that drops the ball during the process. - The warm and fuzzy atmosphere many times camouflages what’s really going on - Decision-making really only falls into the hands of a few individuals - The Swedish office practically shuts down the entire summer leaving the other offices to fend for themselves when clients have important questions and need answers. Telling the customer that they have to wait 6-8 weeks for an answer does not work nor does is sound professional. - Development cycles can be rather slow. - HR department is underutilized. - The company is going through growing pains right now. One of the reasons is because finding good talent in Miami is extremely difficult. Never mind the fact that Miami is a transient city. - It is common that employees wear multiple hats. I believe that this sometimes leads to diluted work performance. - Lots of the administrative tasks where the software has buggy performance issues.
