Avanade reviews

Most projects are not self-sourced by company itself, so a lot of times employees have to conform to the "parent" company's work ethics. (If you come in late to work / go home early, you'll be penalized and sometimes, escalated to Avanade's upper management) Even if you complain about it to management, Avanade will not be able to do much for you other than telling you to take a sabbatical (non-paid) or just tolerate it till the project ends. They won't be able to take you off the project completely and immediately.

Managed Services for Avanade is a strange affair, being in the UK but being managed from afar. For all the training and skills you learn limited reach to actually apply it in any sort of meaningful way. This ties into lack of career development as outside of the Managed Services there is limited (if any) chance to escape into other fields. (Consulting etc) Local Leadership expanding the truth then not delivering. I’m not saying lying but multiple occasions would suggest otherwise.. Lack of consistency when dealing with HR. UK HR is fabulous however Managed Services being overseas seem to run from two different playbooks.
