Pros

Best place to get acquainted with Microsoft Products. Avanade is very receptive to new grads/entry level consultants and invests a lot of capital in growth and development of their consultants. Good place to get certified as exams and study materials are subsidized.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy to wade through. Very hard to get the word out to voice concerns and intimidating at times. Expect a lot of bench time if you're a level 20. Expect to relocate or extended travel for some projects with only a portion of costs of transportation subsidized by Avanade.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
