Pros

1) Access to Accenture trainings 2) Microsoft stack focus

Cons

Particularly at Avanade Canada - 1) Director+ roles mostly belong to a certain demographic (90+% white and/or french). Canada wide internal pulse survey results 2022 pointed to the need for ‘Diversity in Leadership roles’. 2) lack of growth avenues for all other demographics in leadership roles in Canada, Regional leadership and HR pay lip service to diversity. 3) Majority of employees laid off in Canada from late 2022 and first quarter 2023 have been from visible minorities 4) Lack of clarity on responsibilities and availability of roles across projects, sub standard sub contracting work for Accenture. Mostly public sector projects and a heavy bench 5) Limited office space for employees

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.
