Pros

This is, in my opinion, a great company to work for. I have worked for many companies and seen just how bad some places are. Avanade is certainly one of the best I have ever experienced! Yes - you will work damned hard. Yes - you will need to be flexible and gear up when needed. Yes - you will be stretched in terms of your skills and what is expected. But, if you're not afraid of hard work, a challenge or being pushed out of your comfort zone, then Avanade is a great company.

Cons

There is still a great culture at Avanade - although rapid expansion is driving the acquisition of people and it is a challenge to ensure that they have the right mindset or work ethic that makes a place a great one to work. Senior management are truly outstanding.

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
