Pros

Great job for young ambitious people having little experience and unclear career goals. The company is fixated on receiving Microsoft certificates, some of them you’ll never use in real life. You can grow up professionally quickly, learn best practices and techniques, apply your skills in varIety of projects, clients and cultures.

Cons

At some point, when you feel yourself an established engineer, permanent requirements to advance your skills and take more exams become annoying. You might be assigned to a nasty project or have to travel far away of your home. You don’t feel yourself independent any more and at some point have to look around. Also be prepared to submit your timesheets in advance: late submission leads to punishment.

Working in an industry as fast-paced as consulting provides many opportunities for diverse experiences, but it also means our people need to be continuously learning: rotating their skills to stay market relevant. At Avanade, we help you do that. From on-the-job experience to formal training and certifications, we are committed to helping you be the best at what you do. We are also working hard to transform our own employee experience so that over time you have more options – whether that’s working in our Digital Innovation Studios or trying a different role tied to a local account, we know that travel isn’t always the right answer.

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.
