      Fired for taking medical leave

      Infrastructure consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everything was great until I had to take medical leave. I attribute that much more to having a good client than to Avanade, though. Others at Avanade didn't have the same experience and there was a lot of turnaround.

      Cons

      I had to take 3 months of medical leave and was fired 1 month after returning for a made up reason. While I was off work my manager switched roles and was replaced by someone who had it out for me from the beginning just because I took medical leave. HR did absolutely nothing to protect me, they let him make up a reason to fire me. Also, even though the short term leave benefits provider approved my leave, they denied paying me for any of the time I was out of work. I supplied all of the necessary medical paperwork and it was approved for the leave, but not for payment. How is that even possible? I had multiple medical doctors sign off on the paper work. Absolutely horrible medical leave benefits if that isn't already obvious.

      They will hijack your career

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are no pros stay away

      Cons

      They might pay you well, but run away. You'll be so worried while "on the bench", you will take any project. Those projects will determine your next job, because of the non relevant skills you will gain. You will fall behind by 2 years. Avoid this company at all costs. I've fallen behind by 3 years, and I regret joining this company. I have learned nothing, because I have been on random projects, that have not added value to my core skills. My career track has been derailed. Don't waste your time and don't let them determine your career, instead you should control that.

      Beware of the bench

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Avanade is a great place to work and consulting gets you exposure to many types of industries. This goes a long way with just about any employer that will come after them. The people are great! They're backed by two powerhouses so the access to training and resources is pretty good.

      Cons

      Avanade is extremely political. Promotions are supposed to be fair, but the process is not. The bench warnings suck. You can get one as a "seasoned" employee that has been with them for a while and get the choice between begging someone to put you on a project (not for performance, but lack of work) or a severance package. Meanwhile, the people they just hired are still employed.
