Pros

If you like being on the forefront of Microsoft technology, Avanade is a good place to be. They are the partner with Microsoft to implement their technologies in coordination with Accenture. Culture is more relaxed than other firms and there is a sense of entrepreneurship as it is still a young firm. Generally, colleagues are willing to help each other and support you in your growth. I enjoyed the relationships built and the ease of building my network.

Cons

The talent community I was a part of was quite small and there were difficulties with upper management selling work at higher levels. Therefore, promotions were more dependent on client work available at higher levels more than job performance. Pay is lower compared to larger and other consulting firms. Entrepreneurship can be a con as there is not always consistency or sophistication of process as the company grows. It also feels like ‘winging it’ is a norm in some areas. There are no built in mentor programs or peer support programs if you want a mentor beyond your career advisor (manager), you have to go find it through building of your network.
