"Maybe things got better, but when I was there they had no idea what was going on."

"Enjoyable place to work - learned a lot."

"Very good company but it lacks of good projects."

"Avanade is a place for the politically savvy. If you cannot stomach playing politics daily to ensure your place then you should not work here.People are extremely two-faced and will eat their young to get ahead.If you do not have thick skin then do not bother working here. You must be prepared to work with people that will give you praise and play the game but will be the first to pass the buck should something go wrong.You must always CYA or you will get PIP'd and/or fired. No one will admit to any wrong doing.You do have the ability to work remotely 75% of the time if you are not traveling constantly.Most of your team you will never meet face to face as all teams come from all over the US and abroad."

"I've been an intern at Avanade for 10 months. Avanade is an awesome place to work. The people are very friendly and helpful. They have a great sense of work/life balance, and a very social environment with plenty of events for employees to get to know one another."

"Consulting can be a challenging job but Avanade works hard to create a good environment on top of providing top notch compensation. They show great skill in providing a good culture for everyone to truly grow professionally and personally. Avanade continues to show a bright future as a company by caring and investing in their employees as well as their clients."

"Avanade is hands down one of the best companies to work for. You get loads of experience in different environments and on different projects, you get the resources to raise your skills to the next level and you get so many fringe benefits it's ridiculous. The only downside is that you often get put on Accenture projects which are typically high stress and heavy workloads... but you take the good with the bad. It's worth it!"

"I love the culture and work environment within Avanade. You can feel that the company is looking out for what is best for their employees. Sometimes it feels like they focus too much on how their parent companies do things instead of focusing on how Avanade can lead the way in many areas."
