Pros

-Training opportunities -Top notch accommodations when traveling -Challenging clients -Most people are great to work with (smart, protective of their people, etc.) -Extended benefits ($2000 a year to spend on stuff for work/life balance items)

Cons

-Lost some of the culture that made it great. Has gone from a somewhat startup culture to more corporate -Recent acquisition has muddied the cultural waters. Many "new" people don't have the same work ethic/values -Beholden to Accenture many times -Try to be transparent about career path but realistically it can all be thrown in the trash for things you should be doing that aren't on paper (or told to you after it was too late) -Consultants are expected to try and staff themselves

Pros

Very strong mission Very strong technical n talented resources Very good package in general Very good management

Cons

Working for Avanade is awesome, but is not Avanade only you work for, Accenture managers and business leads will always be their over you head making life toxic and clients overwhelmed, never missing an opportunity to make untechnical n uneducated decisions They treat the Dev resources like and worst than working horses and will end up writing your feedback and annual reviews One bad Accenture manager (and they are a lot) can cause you a lot of damage, Plus... you will end up traveling to client offices from NY to CA and sometime they will ask you to relocate You have th right to deny first 2 or 3 offers to work for a client out of state, but then you will feel the pressure from your leads, which will make you eventually leave, and take. Flight every weekend to far away remote location, for at least 4 month in a row

Pros

Avanade has wonderful benefits. The health insurance is the best I've had in my career.

Cons

Avanade is nothing more than a body shop consulting shop. Additionally, if you like to write code, this is not the company for you. Avanade attempts to off-shore most coding tasks. Consultants become intermediaries for the off-shore teams. The company has no real culture either. When I started, I completed my training and was then left alone in the office for months. No one made any efforts to socialize. I often went out for lunch and had drinks with colleagues from my previous company. The worst part has been getting on projects. To get a decent assignment, you really need to know someone. Managers act as if they are doing you a favor to put on on their project too. And, they play favorites. More than once I nominated myself for projects only to find the position was never really open.
