Pros

This is a great place to start if you are directly out of school. There is a formal training that takes about a month that is very hands on and involved. More relaxed than other companies.

Cons

You can easily get placed on project that you are unhappy with. As a developer, they had me use a no-code (advertised as a developer free) platform to create applications. I have brought up my discomfort, and my feeling of being underutilized. After 3 projects, each with a promise that it'll be my last time using that platform I decided to look elsewhere. Since there was no actual development going on, I had to brush up on my coding, developing, and engineering skills and go elsewhere. Got a nice pay bump in the process too.

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
