Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Get your traveling boots on and buy an airline club membership. Buy enough miles to achieve Gold or higher status. Get a good laptop/five night bag with a removable laptop sleeve. Do not expect clear direction on the project and do expect uncertainty. Don't sign the non-disclosure letter they ask you to sign when leaving the company that prohibits sharing your experiences while there. I didn't and I am very glad. (They did hold my last paycheck hostage trying to get me to sign the gag agreement and I never got any severance at all even though I was terminated for asking to change projects and interviewing with Microsoft). DON'T interview with Microsoft while working here. They are required to tell Avanade when they interview an Avanade employee."

What don't you like about working at Avanade?

"The management and politics are overwhelming. Very, very similar to Accenture. I was fired for interviewing with Microsoft and asking to be placed on a different project."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be honest and support your senior people on site. Create a clear chain of responsibility so that projects do not suffer from divided leadership. Learn that an interview is not treason against the company. Work/life balance doesn't mean completely ignoring your family and personal life."
