Beware of the bench

Pros

Avanade is a great place to work and consulting gets you exposure to many types of industries. This goes a long way with just about any employer that will come after them. The people are great! They're backed by two powerhouses so the access to training and resources is pretty good.

Cons

Avanade is extremely political. Promotions are supposed to be fair, but the process is not. The bench warnings suck. You can get one as a "seasoned" employee that has been with them for a while and get the choice between begging someone to put you on a project (not for performance, but lack of work) or a severance package. Meanwhile, the people they just hired are still employed.

Pros

Good work/life balance Free certifications Interesting projects Good benefits

Cons

Fake culture - It’s hard to speak nicely about a company when everything you thought you knew about them ended up being a lie. As long as times are good, there is a lot of talk about caring for employees and being a team. As soon as anything goes wrong, they take no accountability. The whole “culture” of “do what matters” is a complete charade. If you work here, make sure to keep your guard up.

Pros

Corporate community genuinely interested in your growth and development; multiple resources to help you in all aspects of your life; generous benefits across a range of services (healthcare, mobile phone, etc); corporate discounts at tons of vendors (cars, phones, gyms, etc).

Cons

Most positions require 50%+ of travel; for example, I fly 4 hours to the client site Sunday night or Monday morning, then return late Thursday.
