Pros

Strong technical people, Nice extended benefit. The Bench.

Cons

I was only at Avanade for 9 months. I was sold on the strategy shift towards digital and the opportunity to build that out. I was also told the travel would be more like it was in an agency. In the end none of that proved true. I was specialized in mobile applications and didn't work on or see one mobile application project in the pipeline. Avanade is VERY Microsoft centric. Too much so in today's world. I also wish I'd have know that Avanade was essentially Accenture's Microsoft arm. I would never have joined the company as there's nothing about Accenture staff aug that appeals to me. Travel is 100% no matter what they tell you. Career opportunities are limited and driven by how much revenue you generate or save especially at the higher levels.

Pros

Smart people, good training, promotions, opportunities to work with diverse client base

Cons

A lot of the work is staff aug through the parent company Accenture. Not really much choice in the types of projects. You go wherever they place you.

Pros

Some of the brightest and most naturally talented people I've ever worked with. Because parent companies are IT industry power houses, you get to be involved in very exciting projects and work with tier 1 customers. Great experience. Delivery excellent and estimation of effort very accurate

Cons

Bully culture, especially in sales team. LT are more interested in safe done this before projects than actually leading customers down the road of innovation. Margin bias so high many deals lost due to pricing themselves out of opportunity. Too reliant on a handful of key wins and still at mercy of Accenture led projects.
