Pros

Good people, trying to do good work, but Accenture and Avanade gets in the way

Cons

- Salaries, especially for internal corporate (non-client facing consulting) roles, are far below market - Recruiters will flat-out lie to you, don't believe anything they tell you about the work, career trajectories and realistic timelines for promo or growth opportunities, assume that the level and salary you negotiate at sign-up is where you'll be for years and annual bonuses/salary increases are microscopic - Line managers are poorly trained and will ding the team for even the most minor of error and employees are rarely recognized even for substantial achievements - e.g., if you ask if it's ok to turn something at noon tomorrow that was originally due today and your manager says, "no problem" - expect to see "misses deadlines" in your review - HR does nothing about the toxic and unprofessional people in the organization - Avanade likes to massively over-engineering every process and corp is filled with people doing busywork in an effort to try to look like they're adding value

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.
