If you are in sales, you will encounter a company trying to develop a brand identity and with limited account relationships. A seasoned sales person joining Avanade will encounter a management team that has never managed a world-class sales organization and with very little leverage to make things happen. Compensation plans are not aligned and if you are selling on Avanade paper, you will encounter channel conflicts with the parent company, Accenture.
