Pros

Smart and friendly people. Good client opportunities. Decent work-life balance, at times.

Cons

This place changed for the worse over the last few years. They have an excellent new US president. But they have ZERO loyalty to tenured employees. So watch your back. You MUST be client relevant and billable if you’re in the consulting workforce or your days are numbered. If you volunteer or are asked to perform an internal role, get out of it as soon as you can because they don’t care to see you develop or grow in the role and you’ll have a huge target on your back. I was there for a long time, since the beginning of the company. Trust me, they don’t care unless you’re billing a customer, regardless of your tenure. It’s incredibly disappointing and not at all what I’d expect from the company. The senior leadership is also being taken over by ex-IBMers who have a reputation as being difficult to work with and work for. Took a long time to get senior female leaders.

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.
