I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. I agree that we have great people here at Avanade, and it's important that we are doing the right things to make sure they want to stay and build their career with us. I'd be open to hearing how we can improve retention and retain our strong culture. You can reach me at 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.
