Pros
- Was an amazing company when I first joined. Met the best boss I ever had. Very clear sales vision and was easy to drink the koolaid - Great pay - Great +1 opportunities for leadership
Cons
The last two years Avanade has gone through a lot of changes......from leadership to the way they structure the business to what tech they are focusing on. When layoffs happen, they do not send out formal communications and act like its a secret that shouldn't be acknowledged. When I was laid off, the meeting lasted 3 minutes, not once did my manager thank me for the years I spent at Avanade. I was discarded. They put people in leadership positions that have no business being there. The last two bosses I had were so awful, didn't follow up on anything they said they would do, and provided no mentorship. Heck, one even got fired. They go all in on half-baked Microsoft solutions that no one really knows how to sell or implement. There is so much pressure to sell solutions without the proper sales support.
