Avanade reviews

- No real career prospects - Very political - if you aren't a director or above, you are just a pawn on the board; and most employees never make to director. - Boys club - Most of the colleagues aren't great in technology - Interview process is from the '80s: friendly small talk instead of selecting smart people - Your job will be to supervise the outsourced projects and try to fix what the offshore centres mess up every day - Quantity over quality - Nothing is cutting edge, stale corporate clients - Strictly Microsoft technologies

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”
