Committed to creating a great experience for employees - supportive organization that promotes from within and looks for opportunities to help you grow your career. People are generally great - real team environment with colleagues who want the best for each other. Depending on the role, work-life balance (no travel) can be great for those who are looking for it. Many of our offices provide numerous opportunities to network internally through happy hours and other special events. Training and development opportunities are plentiful both online and in person.
Cons
It will take a little while to find your footing - it's a large, global, complex organization. Network, network, network and you will acclimate quickly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm happy to read that you're enjoying your time here! I'm proud of the culture we've built here that encourages teamwork and makes our people feel welcome.
Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture
Recognition for good work
Cons
Consulting in general is not what it used to be
Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles'
CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle
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.
