Pros

Avanade is a Microsoft shop and pushes all of it's employees to become certified in Microsoft Products and Services. Good place to get certified.

Cons

Most projects are subcontracted out from Accenture and Avanade has very little direct business. This means most projects are managed by Accenture and there is little career growth towards managing projects.

Pros

Avanade is a great company filled with smart, hard working people. It’s also a company that knows how to build team comradely and have fun. In addition, in spite of the bellyaching to the contrary, Avanade’s compensates its technical employees well above market rates (at least in the U.S.).

Cons

Avanade’s big problem is that they are largely a one trick pony. The bulk of their business is application development on the .NET platform. Their infrastructure business has languished over the years. Repeated attempts to diversify their portfolio of services have been less than successful, largely because of how they are organized and how management is compensated.

Pros

- Free cutting edge training for Microsoft technologies. - decent benefits

Cons

- Hard to get recognized, you basically have to be a paper professionals in order to get prompted - Most PMs are from (India & Philippine) Accenture and are highly incompetent, they speak minimal English and have no clue how to operate the projects and unable to translate business problems into technical projects, also had hard time of understanding technical people. If you ask why, it is all about more (relatively) cheap labors. - Bad (compare with other industry competitors) pay - Very incompetent HR people, avanade HR relies on an in-house application to generate interview questions. If your answer do not match their standard answer, they consider you as unqualified. Hey, there is always more than one way to solve the questions, don't put your business logics on top of the technical people - You will be ignored if you are not a manager or a high-up.
