Pros

-salary was decent -free snacks in office

Cons

I'm told by the HR person that there will be client projects to work on when I get there. I get there, and there aren't any client projects. I'm just sitting "on the bench" the entire time (2 months), doing unimportant, menial busywork like updating PowerPoint slide decks. After 2 months, they realize they cannot find any real client work for me so decide to let me go.

Although the demand in the consulting industry is somewhat unpredictable, it's unfortunate that you weren't staffed and I apologize for the experience you've described here. If you're willing to provide any further details, please reach out to me at adam.wengert@avanade.com and I will make efforts to ensure we maintain a transparent experience for our new hires.

Pros

Over set leaning kpi. stressful as you need to meet customer expectation and Avanade goals such as blue prism. in short if you can work 24/7, you get to learn lots of stuff. good for youngters, not for family.

Cons

Political company-blaming game. always customer right, will sack any staff if customer complain. HR set lots of policy, just never adhere to it, even the management scold you thick skull and other racism remarks, no action taken.

Pros

There are some really good people engineers and technical outside of management.

Cons

Management and leadership from the top down have created nothing short of a hostile work environment. This group has lost about 40% of it's business over the last 18 months and leadership is constantly on witch hunts to weed out really good people regardless of what you have done for them lately. They are extremely vengeful and dig up 'anything' to turn the team against each other. They cause divide in all elements of the organization and have a very short list of non-qualified persons they promote. Don't believe they have your best interest in mind because they don't. They also deceive oversell service offerings they can deliver on and they refuse to invest in any technology that will reduce burden on engineering, support and service delivery resources while expecting expected staff to take calls 24x7 for items that can wait until Monday (that only have urgency to them). They have a list of favorites and those they dislike and they aggressively and consistently go out of their way to 'talk down' accomplishments of those on their list that are doing great work but are personally disliked. I have NEVER seen such sadistically sick and void leadership within an mature IT organization. IF I were a business I would run far and fast and if I were looking for a job / career within the UCCMS organization of Avanade - I recommend running even faster because it is a JOKE of a Managed Services Organization!!! THE MOST UN-QUALIFIED LEADERS and immature tools I've ever seen in an IT organization.
