Avanade Response
6y
Training is an important part of the Avanade employee experience and we set aside 80 hours of training time per year so our people have the space to prioritize skill development and career growth outside of the pressures of their everyday jobs. In addition, we are proud to offer extensive certification opportunities that help you and Avanade stay competitive in the market. Be sure to work with your career adviser to identify the best opportunities for you so that you’re driving your career in the direction you choose.
The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.
Cons
Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
