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

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.
