Pros

Avanade is not great at selling but you can get on the internal portal and do jobs for Accenture.

Cons

If you do too many jobs for Accenture they fire you because they couldn't do their jobs and get Avanade UX work. So they buy Fjord and then fire all their internal employees because Fjord has a bunch of UX work and UX employees.

Thank you for sharing feedback about your time at Avanade. Our direct business continues to grow in all markets, and collaboration with Accenture further expands our ability to undertake exciting projects that connect our employees to new skills and experiences. But it sounds like you experienced some frustrations with project staffing, and I’d value the opportunity to hear more so that we can learn and improve. If you’re willing to discuss those experiences or any other aspects of your time at Avanade with me, please feel free to reach out at amy.wright@avanade.com.

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.
