Avoid it if you work in Security - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Avanade

This message is written in English due to our international presence. While some of the points raised are specific to Avanade ASG (Austria, Switzerland, Germany), others are global concerns, which I will clearly identify. TL;DR: Multiple employees are expressing dissatisfaction with recent changes, limited learning opportunities, and an overwhelming emphasis on chargeability. Specific concerns: - Limited interaction and knowledge sharing: While Avanade positions itself as a global company, collaboration between Avanade ASG and other offices seems restricted. Additionally, internal knowledge sharing lacks structure, hindering learning and growth compared to established consulting firms like BCG or McKinsey. - Management background and focus: The Avanade ASG leadership, largely composed of ex-Accenture and Microsoft personnel, might lack direct customer acquisition experience. This potentially limits client engagement and results in repetitive "success stories" without active presales efforts. - Global reorganization and its impact: Recent changes imposing chargeability on all employees are allegedly dampening morale. Additionally, concerns exist about the lack of focus on developing the sales pipeline. - Leadership continuity and employee morale: Some new leaders, reportedly involved in previous cultural breakdowns at Accenture, might be contributing to similar concerns at Avanade. Many recent hires have expressed surprise and disappointment with the current company culture, particularly regarding the recent end-of-year review process and lack of bonuses. Overall, there appears to be a need for addressing employee concerns regarding company direction, learning opportunities, and leadership effectiveness.
