Pros

MSDN and Books 24x7 subscriptions

Cons

Lied to about everything having to do with the job. Accenture is in charge and Accenture's management is comprised of people that lack basic communication and project management skills. I met some great people that were hired at the same time based on the same things I was told, everyone has left.

Pros

Great coworkers, great pay, great chance for promotion, great benefits. They really take care of their people here at Avanade. Overall great culture.

Cons

Non existent training for programmers, you have to train yourself. No work life balance, be prepared to work 12 to 16 hour days. If you are just coming out of school, make sure you are ready for this place, it is non stop work.

Pros

Depending upon the project you can learn new technologies and the processes. Get good brand names on your resume. You will love the place if you like to write status reports – lot of them.

Cons

Be ready for LONG hours. Go home/hotel after 7 PM ready for status call at 7 AM. Lot of (filler) work that does not produce any value or satisfaction. Projects get staffed by bodies that not necessarily have skills that are needed. Don’t be surprise if you have given a full time resource (a developer in India) and the same resource is full time resource on other project at the same time. Probably they have 48 hours in one day. At least for folks in the field corporate organization structure is too complex to understand and meaningless for any practical purpose. I am not sure whose purpose it is serving. Too much pressure to maintain high billable hours and that creates a conflict resulting in unprofessional work ethics.
