Pros

Solid brand, WFH (if you prefer this)

Cons

I joined Avanade in March 2022 and never actually got the chance to work on a client facing project because of staffing issues. Was laid off February 2023. Their BD/Sales pipeline seemed to be quite dormant. Working remotely didn’t allow me to make the connections I felt like I needed to get staffed. They brought back 50 day bench warnings early in 2023.

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.
