      Software Developers Steer Clear

      Senior developer & team lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent to good salary (85K+ for sr. consultant) Decent training budget

      Cons

      - Project managers and scrum masters here have no technical background, but call the shots, not a team lead - High chance of getting stuck on a multi-year project and it's near impossible to get off, even after putting in 2 years. - Non-technical people are viewed as more important than software developers - They don't care if the work aligns to what you want to do, they will put you on any project regardless of your desired tech stack - Your boss won't be on the same project as you, will have no idea what you're doing day-to-day, but they still evaluate you. - Bills client for your overtime, but you are not entitled to any of that - Owner Accenture is held on a pedestal and can do no wrong - Frequently told you must put company first - lots and lots of internal politics - most projects are talked up to sound amazing but in reality are quite mundane

      Disappointed to say the least

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Training - Travel perks (miles or hotel points)

      Cons

      - Not a true meritocracy (skin color makes a BIG difference when it comes to promotion time/appraisals) - At the mercy of Accenture for most projects -Politically charged and caustic workplace environment - Lack of technical depth unlike claims to be msft experts More often than not, we goto Microsoft for help/SME support - Senior management only cares about margins and not the quality of business - Poor work-life balance (depending on project)

      Sucking up to the right people is rewarded above talent

      Pros

      If you're prepared to kiss the right backsides and turn up to pointless events to get involved in the "Avanade ecosystem" your level of competence is irrelevant.

      Cons

      As above. If you find yourself on the wrong side of management you'll be pushed to one side and left to rot until you decide to leave for the sake of your career. Avanade creates an environment where consultants are forced to compete against each other for roles, opportunities, and career progression. This is how they push staff into working incredible hours as their approach is that someone will be prepared to do this so everyone will have to do this or be left behind.

      The culture you've described here is certainly not in line with our values or work culture, and I’m sorry your experience hasn’t been what you expected. I would be interested in hearing more about this issue so I can take steps to resolve it. If you're willing, please reach out to me at adam.wengert@avanade.com.
