Avanade reviews

- Rampant Cronyism - Top Heavy organization structure where most Directors are over paid and under deliver - Frequent layoffs that often result in the best people getting cut. - No career model. Most people stay until they get laid off or find a better salary elsewhere. - Rapid growth offshore has turned company more into a body shop than a respected consultancy

Avanade’s big problem is that they are largely a one trick pony. The bulk of their business is application development on the .NET platform. Their infrastructure business has languished over the years. Repeated attempts to diversify their portfolio of services have been less than successful, largely because of how they are organized and how management is compensated.
