Laid off today after 2.5 years at Avanade. Heard through a last minute meeting with leadership and HR. Severance package based on TC and level. Sr.Analyst, Northeast, Software Engineering TC, ~6 month bench time. Best of luck to all! #layoff #severance #avanade
Is Avanade consulting company? How many weeks of severance for 2.5 yrs of service?
It’s a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft. Primarily owned by Accenture now.
Almost like a sweat shop of Accenture…avanade works like a subcontractors.
What’s your Tc
How many were laid off do you know?
I have signed an offer with Avanade and is starting in a few weeks. Should I be worried of the offer being rescinded?
I wouldn’t worry for the time being, Q1 and Q2 were pretty tough since pipeline that was anticipated to land got pushed out by roughly 3-6 weeks, so folks who were on the bench for a long chunk of time and not anticipated to be staffed within the next 3 weeks seemed like they were on the list.
Hey how did the joining go ? Looking to apply myself
What locations are you folks joining?
Were you on bench or were you assigned to a project ?
Was on the bench for about 6 months
Sorry to hear about that. Were you the only one who got laid off or did it impact other folks who are on bench ? I know a person who is on bench right now so thought of checking in if others were impacted as well
