Vantaggi
Working in the Managed Services out of Newcastle you get to work with the latest Technology with some of the brightest minds around. Lots of opportunities to develop new skills with an endless drive for certifications. Avanade expects a lot from you however provides you with a reasonable salary, great training, great benefits. As an entry level position if you have the drive and motivation Avanade is a great place to work. As a seasoned professional you will find it a tedious place to work.
Svantaggi
Managed Services for Avanade is a strange affair, being in the UK but being managed from afar. For all the training and skills you learn limited reach to actually apply it in any sort of meaningful way. This ties into lack of career development as outside of the Managed Services there is limited (if any) chance to escape into other fields. (Consulting etc) Local Leadership expanding the truth then not delivering. I’m not saying lying but multiple occasions would suggest otherwise.. Lack of consistency when dealing with HR. UK HR is fabulous however Managed Services being overseas seem to run from two different playbooks.
