      Avanade - Where employees come last

      Systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent clients to work with. Provided excellent technology to do your job.

      Cons

      Only people based out of the regional offices can get ahead. Employees in other cities are on their own with little interaction from managers. Company hires too many technical resources then fires them when sales production is down. Company shifts financial failures to all employees by canceling social events and yearly bonuses without notice (found out I wasn't getting a bonus only because it was not on my paycheck when expected). They canceled holiday and summer events because the company is doing poorly. Total budget for both events was $5000. For FY 2017 all employees got enrolled in the Jelly of the Month club (Movie Reference). Yearly reviews are based on the amount of money available for raises not actual performance. You could receive top reviews from all clients and managers, go above and beyond getting certifications and still get an achieves\meets review score because there is not enough money in the budget to give you the raise and bonus that comes with a higher score.

      This year was the first in our 17-year history where we did not achieve our aggressive double-digit growth goals. If you would like to discuss more, feel free to reach out to me directly at jeyan.jeevaratnam@avanade.com

      Sinking ship - run

      Director

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Training is good, benefits (ie: 401k and healthcare) are great

      Cons

      Everything else about this company is awful. Leadership is selfish and focused on their scorecards, there's little concern for building a great place to work. Sales team can't spend any money to make money, there's little to no celebration. This company is officially a joke now. Very sad as they were once great to work for. Keep raising prices and maintaining your highly priced overhead and you'll continue to drive yourself into the ground. The companies sales outlook is grim, growth is lagging and management continues to lay off regularly. RUN away people - don't look at this company. The hire one day and lay off the next because chargeability is a management metric (understandable) but your lack of ability to be competitively priced has created a vicious cycle of HIRE AND FIRE based on your unpredictable sales demand.

      Avoid this Company for Software Development roles unless you have 5-7+ yrs exp. - A warning during economic downturn

      Full stack developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have been working for this company for several months as a full stack developer and was initially hired under the assumption that I would be immediately placed on a project. However, upon arrival, I discovered that they had no work for me. Instead of laying me off, they have recently assigned me to a project that does not align with the job description for which I was hired. I have been stuck on the bench for several months, watching my career gap grow on my resume and now find myself faced with a difficult choice: either stay with Avanade and watch my career suffer, or quit and struggle financially. A layoff with a severance package (or even just firing me, giving me access to unemployment) would have been the more humane option, but instead, the company has kept me on the bench for months and now presents me with an ultimatum. They fail to take responsibility for over hiring and the impact of the economic downturn on their staffing needs. It is unclear to me how Avanade is still in operation. Other positive reviews may be from long-term employees who were already placed on projects before the economic crash, so they have a vastly different experience. Keep this in mind when considering working here. The only positive aspect is that the company paid me for several months while I was on the bench, allowing me to search for internal and external job opportunities, but the emotional toll and stress of this situation has not been worth it.

      Cons

      This is a warning for anyone considering working for this company. The company is currently experiencing a large number of employees on the "bench," meaning that they do not have any real work available and many employees are spending their time interviewing internally and networking for potential projects. Developers are being placed on projects that do not align with their job description and are more suited for business analysts. If you value your career as a developer, you should be aware that working here could lead to a significant gap in your resume and you will not gain valuable skills. While the company may try to downplay the situation, it is likely to negatively impact your career. There are a few technical projects available, but the internal interview process to be placed on one is competitive, and it is unlikely that you will be successful unless you have 5+ years of experience. Keep in mind the date of my post, when the economy improves in the tech sector this situation may change, but for now, even if you are desperate for a job, it is best to continue searching for other opportunities.
