Avanade reviews

- No opportunities for growth at higher levels - Definitely an "old boys club" mentality - Accenture controls everything the company does at this point - Entrepreneurial spirit has vanished - Company has turned into a bean counters delight - Internal processes are cumbersome and lack agility - Same old, stale talent rehashed throughout leadership positions

Top heavy -- Way too many managers in every service line. This creates a lot of clumsy processes and also hampers career growth for everyone else. Depending on whether you are in consulting or ATS service line, noticeable difference in organizational respect and in benefits. Career Manger role is mostly a formality; your manager won't care as long as your billing hours are high and your project manager did not give you bad rating. They lack organizational maturity and/or backbone to resolve your issues. Promotional opportunity depends on how well you click with your regional and service line leadership. Avanade delivery managers try to imitate Accenture PMs. I don't understand why every project needs clones. Most of these managers don't seem to care about the team's wants and needs and behave like slave masters. They are on the project mainly because of their chargeability; not to add value. They will nickel and dime you on salary negotiations.
