Accentures Foot Stool

Pros

Market relevant remuneration, gadget allowance, some senior managers (but very few) willing to mentor.

Cons

Long hours (due to understating statements of work) simply to win business. Account Managers nowhere to be seen when stakeholders on client side use bullying tactics to get what they want. Accenture promote sycophant graduates to management level positions and before you know it, you are taking vague orders off an inexperienced person 10 years younger than you. Being a sandbag - you will not grow. You will be left to rot on an account with zero prospects of growth, support or direction. You're just a sandbag with a marginal rate that someone else benefits from when all the hard work is done by others on half the salary.

Pros

Great company. Friendly people. Nice office. Interesting projects. Prestigious clients.

Cons

Extremely cliquey. If you don’t “play the social game” then you won’t progress. Not the best payers in the world. Career progression process could do with some improvements. Very generic and outdated. Needs to be tailored to job roles. Still operates very much in Accenture’s shadow.

A lot has changed

Pros

Avanade tries to support flexible working with their clients. The home office is good, with coffee, etc. A lot of access to Microsoft training, healthcare, and mental health support. The people you’ll work with directly are great, although management is confused.

Cons

The company has changed a lot in the time I’ve worked here, from feeling like people want to do a good job, to focussing on internal squabbles and the short term. I have absolutely no confidence in the UK management - the new Accenture manager isn’t seen, and doesn’t seem to understand what made Avanade great. People are leaving or being fired by another name - either because of a clash with the new culture, or because the company hasn’t sold enough work. The company sells projects based on old technology, without investing in anything new. The company used to feel friendly and supportive, now it feels like Accenture. Management either isn’t giving clear examples of what they want, or they are being clear about expectations, but not enabling people to hit them.
