New Software Developers stay away

Pros

-Good insurance -Ok 401K -Travel (if you like travel) / Per Diem -Company Events

Cons

TLDR: New hires might not get real development experience and might be put on non development roles like being a BA. Also salary is considerably lower than other companies for software developers. To be honest I don't believe anyone should come to Avanade for a job out of college, it is very difficult to get the right experience you want. For example during ignition (the training for new graduate hires), they tell software engineers that their firt project might not be any development. Now if you hire a software engineer but do not give them any software development projects then what is the point? Management is also not the best, and many of the managers don't keep up to date with new technologies or seem to be able to actually develop. Many of the actual development work seems to be outsourced as well, leading to the software developers here mantaining more of a managment role.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration at being staffed on projects you don’t think align with your goals or skills, but our goal is not to hire to fill specific project needs but rather build a team of diverse and talented individuals. This means there may be times you are put in roles outside your specific area of expertise, or even interest. However, this also provides opportunities to grow market relevant skills and expand your capabilities, which is one of the great benefits to working in consulting. I encourage you to keep communicating with your career adviser your short and long-term career and project goals, so you can work together to find the right project for you next assignment.

Pros

- You will get lot of Microsoft related training, with two weeks of paid annual training time - Great for new graduates to absorb new techs and growth - You will get travel cash back points from hotel, rental car or airlines (not from company itself) if you like travel

Cons

- Salary is below market average - You are obligate to go with any client if company send you to, you may end up with bad/terrible client that layout you off and you will have a bad review - Annual managers review is a mystery spot, any of your project manger can jump up and rumbles something then your year review is dead for promotion - You will be ready for political fights in certain clients or even within your team, group, bear with blame and prepare your resume for next
