Avanade reviews

Being on the bench is stress inducing.

No salary adjustments since 2022 for those not on a promotion track. Advancement often depends more on internal politics and connections than on performance or metrics. Favoritism is definitely present and impacts career progression. There’s also been a noticeable increase in quiet offboarding — employees suddenly disappearing without communication or transparency. It’s been happening for a while, but has accelerated in recent months. The company's identity feels increasingly diminished. There’s no longer a dedicated London office — teams now operate out of Accenture’s space. In some regions and functions, the distinction between Avanade and Accenture has effectively disappeared. It’s disheartening to see a company that claims to value its people show signs of doing the opposite. Unfortunately, with leadership turnover being constant, this erosion of culture isn’t entirely surprising.
