Avanade's Microsoft's Region -- "UP-AND-OUT CULTURE" | Leadership Dysfunction
Pros
Top 1% Talent in NA possessing Highest Business Acumen with Deep Technology Expertise Paid Certifications, Technical Training Perks: "Gadget Budget" Compensation: Only for Experienced Hires
Cons
Use to be a decent company, but recently Implemented a regional model which means less opportunities with projects matching one's skill sets. Avanade's Microsoft Region, which throughout the organization is already known for its “up-and-out culture", is not organizationally strong enough to support rapid development for its resources due to Leadership Dysfunction. Organization pride's itself on having only the top 1% talent, but the disloyalty in the ranks forces that talent out within 24 months. Evident after more then half of Microsoft Region's workforce who recently quit in 2014. Overly ambitious Regional Goals at the cost of all top talents.
