Pros

Around average pay. (Only slightly below average) A major company looks good on a resume.

Cons

Will threaten termination to "motivate" employees. We were asked to work between 5-10 hours off the clock a week for the first 3months. This was only stopped when multiple employees went over Avanade's head contacting Microsoft making them aware of the illegal activity Avanade was involved in while working on their project. Avanade lies and exaggerates to keep employees around and then in a heart beat screws over a large number of employees to send jobs overseas after promising job stability once project contract was renewed. Up until a week before mass roll offs all agents were told our contracts were about to be extended.

One of our core values at Avanade is acting with integrity and respect – which I take very seriously. We have clear policies around tracking and recording time, as well as a process for investigating employee complaints reported through leadership, HR or our Ethics & Compliance hotline.

Pros

smart and interesting people, good benefits, leading in technology

Cons

Avanade promotes work-life balance, however, your workload is so full it's difficult to get the job done in a 60 hour week! Base pay is 20% less tan market-Difficult to get promoted even with excellent reviews! Deep process to everything, lots of emails coming your way from multiple departments, above average meetings which can kill progress if you don't manage

Pros

None. It is all chaos under the “new” boss.

Cons

Chaos everywhere. The new CEO (Rodrigo), fired all the support functions (yes, all HR, Finance, Marketing) got fired and just a few moved to Accenture to “manage” Avanade employees * policy communication is disorderly. People found out that “new alignment” means “Accenture all but in name only”. Much more restrictive policy on incidental work or ability to just check emails from another country * THE BIGGEST ONE : Today, The CEO (Rodrigo) has announced that all the Group Managers (which were the level right before reaching Director+ area), are to be effectively eliminated and renamed to just “Manager” (Manager was the level below) . So he basically demoted all the Group Managers, and destroyed our careers, as we will all be just “Managers” not reflecting our experience The demotions actually impact also Directors (who now will be called “Senior Managers”) and Senior Directors with now just be “Directors”
