Hey All -- I have a hirevue with Avalon Bay for a summer internship, and just wanted to get any opinions out there anyone could share. Good experience? Enjoyable company? What are some things I should know? Thanks.

Personally tried to get info on them here myself, and little seems to be known of them.
Spoke to them about a role. YMMV but found it to be a disorderly process, with a recruiter who was oddly disorganized and didn’t know WTF he was talking about. Was told after a promising initial that I’d go to a second round but they reversed course and hired someone else before having that second round. I understand this was just one experience so take it with salt.
Interviewer told me flat out that “things take a very long time to happen here”, “collaboration is important and you won’t be making decisions unilaterally about things”, etc. Sounds big, consensus driven, cushy but slow moving.
Each region operates with autonomy, so the experience will vary depending on where you're located and who runs the local office. However, from what I've seen, people tend to be pretty happy there and stick around for a while.
Know folks past & present from AVB. It’s an enormous public REIT, so yes very bureaucratic and everyone has a specific function rather than wearing many hats. Can be slow moving on decision making but for an internship, it’s an extraordinary name to have on the resume and there’s a serious expertise of multifamily operations there. Believe they still pool analysts, so there’s a chance your offer converts to full time gig, particularly if it’s in the Arlington HQ.
I have also heard from friends that HR can be a mess, don’t let that taint your view of them as a firm.
