Pros

There are some very talented people that work here.

Cons

Company was run into the ground. Massive, continually layoffs and constantly reorganizing the org structure is causing unrest and confusion with the employees.

Pros

Competitive pay scale when I first started ten years ago, may be less so now for new joiners. Interesting work and solid client list.

Cons

Leadership has changed so drastically from when I started, leadership is no longer best in class with employees' best interest at heart. A few less than ideal leaders replaced absolutely awesome leaders, who then have supported promoting their friends over the best candidate. Promotion process is a popularity contest over anything else. The company is known for firing or "laying off" workers over 50, and is hard pressed to support women in leadership.

Pros

Exceptionally kind environment of talented people who are always looking to grow their skills. Accepting of folks from different backgrounds and always aiming to deliver excellence in their work. Lots of interesting projects for large companies. They are experts in Microsoft, even owned partially by them. Their nature as a joint venture with Accenture means access to working with Accenture's larger customer base as well as Avanade specific work. They were the kindest firm (including my bosses!) I ever worked (up until this point) with and I will say that to my grave.

Cons

It doesn't matter how long you've worked with the org or your overall standing with leadership, Operations will remove you from the employment rolls if business goes bad enough, without much advanced warning. That's the biggest con. Other cons are: They toe the MSFT line exceptionally heavily and really only prioritize education to be line with MSFT certs and selling points. So for a holistic technology picture you'll need to do that on your own. Also, as a joint venture between Accenture and MSFT, you end up working on a lot of Accenture projects which can be difficult at times.
