Pros

Highly capable and motivated people. Strong support from Accenture. Good connections to Microsoft. Good culture, just not supported well by current management team. If you get on the right project, can be a great learning and development experience.

Cons

Current management team has limited vision and is struggling with maintaining growth. Leadership has become heavy handed and does not support risk taking. They require Microsoft or Accenture to innovate for them. Geographically focused so project and management experience can vary significantly by our home office location.

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.
