Pros

Great self learning tools, autonomy over what you wish to study & learn. Good benefits although appears to be a tactic to buy people in the market. A great place for career consultants, bringing experience from top tier firms.

Cons

CEO is a robot. Has to read from script when presenting as do other Execs which gives the impression they do not have confidence or know the topic they are presenting. Came across a lot of people faking it till they make it, driving a culture of cutting and pasting concepts, PowerPoints etc with no understanding of the content. Many disgruntled clients, poorly solutioned deals driving long working hours. Often feels like a back office department to Accenture the parent co. Many workers on the bench, a climate of uncertainty prevails, paired with an anxiety at leadership level to scrutinise sales activity and sell for less.

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.
