Avanade reviews

The marketing organization spends lots of time promoting what a great place Avanade is to work. The reality is turnover is 20% -30%. You'll get stuck on an Accenture project and be forgotten. If you are on the bench too long, well its consulting so you are fired. Very political top down organization. Lots of the Glassdoor reviews are BS and from Marketing. No CEO has a 96% approval rating. That's just not believable.

First off, never join this company as a Senior Analyst. They will make up reason to keep you at that level and prevent promotions unless you have major advocate as your "Career Advisor". Managers and Career Advisors are on some sort of power trip. They belittle, threaten, and demean every chance they get. This is the Southwest region btw. Client over everything. If the client treats you like absolute garbage and lies about promises, you have to be "flexible" and they will gaslight you saying they never made said promises. They don't care if your sick or your losing money on traveling. They will use you and discard you as they see fit and Avanade/Accenture does not care because client(money) > you. Don't waste your time at this company. Terrible work-life balance. They talk big about being caring about their employees but that's it-they're just talk. A lot of hypocrisy. Major turnover the past few months so I'm guessing most of the reviews are not legitimate here. Seriously, if you're looking to travel or get experience in software development, this is not the place. You get sick of living out of suit case and you learn very little as 40+ hrs a week are fast paced and no one bothers to give work geared towards your experience. Or you're forced to work on a project that is not in your career path which in turn hurts your resume. The salary they offer is not worth the emotional distress of this job. This job has convinced me it never was.
