Avantages
Avanade is growing quickly. The company has a good market niche and is building an identity separate from our parents (Accenture & Microsoft). This rapid growth affords terrific learning opportunities and the opportunity to expand your resume. We have a few inspirational leaders that have come onboard in the last couple of years who really care if you are learning new things and about your development. You are heard and the company wants to hear your opinion and input.
Inconvénients
Senior management has no diversity, just a bunch of old white guys. This is not a woman or minority friendly company and has a highly developed political environment. Avanade is the biggest little company you have ever seen. This place is legend for its politics and how cut throat it is. Women are expects to work harder, deliver more, do it faster and are paid a significantly less than men with lesser skills, knowledge and responsibility. Minorities are past over for promotion and opportunities. Opinions are sought but not weighted equal to the men or to those of the old boys club.
