Pros

Pay adjustments and bonuses but still very much under market. Seems to hire bottom of the bell curve employees but someone has to hire them smart people often leave for a larger pay.

Cons

HR is a JOKE. Has told many females leaving that they are liars upon complaints and exit interview findings. With senior staff not even getting a slap on the wrist which is funny cause no one else but Avanade would retain people like that. They wouldn't get hired anywhere else. Toxic bullying gossipy work culture. Can't sell projects to save their lives somehow becomes your problem to beg, grovel and b for a role. I've had a few roles since leaving this company and the quality of my life has improved 10 fold. So thanks but no thanks. Also oh the misogyny! Recently heard through the grape vine that the female GM whom i personally very much liked was asked to leave because people didn't "like her" very much so it's back to the 1950s for women at this company. I like to judge my future employers by the number of ex employees banging on the door to come back in. No one wants to come back to work here ... terrible junior staff retention they put together a panel and everything to "investigate" but all they did was get defensive and after HR is done with them at their exit interview people make excuses to leave this place no one tells you the real reason they're leaving. I sure didn't.

Pros

expensing a lot of thing, miles, hotel, food, phone, airplane, hotels, etc

Cons

Hard to find projects, the staffing advisors don't help, extremely lazy and unresponsive. Career advisor is no help at all. You're pretty much on your own when it come to finding projects. A lot of people usually leave.

Pros

-The people, I've formed life long relationships with my coworkers here -Some of the management (unfortunately you may or may not ever meet them) -The initial training program where they take new hires to Seattle

Cons

-A lot of the management does not care about you, only about what decisions will make them look better/benefit them -There is a false sense of "we care about you", but when you voice your concerns, you will be lead down a fake path until ultimately being told that your opinions don't matter -No transparency about anything going on outside of the client you are working on (I recommend having Monthly & Quarterly meetings for all employees in the region) -A lack of recognition -No transparency in promotions. A lot of favoritism and no after review with your manager about how you did in your performance review and why you got a raise/didn't get a raise, etc. -Having a holiday party or event for anything is like pulling teeth, no one in management will plan anything -Worked on a project where people slowly started quitting because that was the only way off the project. A lot of good employees were lost to this. I just thought of 7 off the top of my head. Not sure if management noticed the trend or cares why. -When I started salaries were low, I've heard that they've gotten a lot better, but they do not adjust the old employees to match the new ones.. Ex: If you started in 2016 with 55k, a new hire in 2017 got 62k, the 2016 hire will not get adjusted to the new rates. Eventually when the 2016 hire gets a raise, they'll be put at the 62k and the 2017 hire will be adjusted to 70k after their promo. (these numbers are 100% accurate, but close enough)

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We work hard to create a place where our employees are proud to work and, most importantly, keeps them happy. I'm sorry that hasn't always been your experience.
