Pros

Avanade's CEO, Pam Maynard, truly puts the employee experience first. Over the past 2 years, she has invested in cultivating a culture that recognizes that each employee is a human first, and allowing us the balance to be our best professionally, as well as personally. Senior leadership (and thereby the culture) is very collaborative, and open to being swayed on ideas if they're good. There is both a strong desire, support, and push for trying new things and continually making things better.

Cons

Being a global company means there's incredible flexibility, but it also means meetings at odd times. Overall, it's a net-positive tradeoff, but it is a consideration.

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.
