I am sorry to hear that you've experienced or witnessed poor attitudes toward individuals who have joined us through an acquisition. This certainly does not reflect our values and is not something we tolerate at Avanade. If you are willing to share, please send me a note so I can learn more about your experience. jeyan.jeevaratnam@avanade.com
Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture
Recognition for good work
Cons
Consulting in general is not what it used to be
Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles'
CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle
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.
