The pay was already sub-par, however, the benefits made up for that. Recently Avanade decided to eliminate paid sick time and lump it in with PTO, their justification is that they increased PTO accrual… by one hour per pay period. So, now you have to choose between taking a sick day or getting to take a vacation. And, to top it off, they decided to “harmonize” with Accenture regarding benefits, such as health insurance which resulted in the out of pocket cost almost doubling! And you can bet that there will not be any comparable raise to compensate. Furthermore, when approaching leadership regarding these changes their response: "Well who else is hiring", or "try to go find another job", it's absolutely atrocious. “It’s not an Accenture takeover” but it absolutely seems like it. It’s always going to be Accenture first. Avanade, you’ve lost your identity.
