Vantaggi

-salary was decent -free snacks in office

Svantaggi

I'm told by the HR person that there will be client projects to work on when I get there. I get there, and there aren't any client projects. I'm just sitting "on the bench" the entire time (2 months), doing unimportant, menial busywork like updating PowerPoint slide decks. After 2 months, they realize they cannot find any real client work for me so decide to let me go.

Although the demand in the consulting industry is somewhat unpredictable, it's unfortunate that you weren't staffed and I apologize for the experience you've described here. If you're willing to provide any further details, please reach out to me at adam.wengert@avanade.com and I will make efforts to ensure we maintain a transparent experience for our new hires.

Vantaggi

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Svantaggi

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
