Pros

Growth potential and great people

Cons

Coming in without much experience is a challenge as you get passed over easily for projects if you not good at networking. Also, heavy focus on certifications which are paid for but if you're not getting those certs as fast as you can (example if you're like me who likes to really understand the material and have much hands on before taking the exam), you'd appear as not putting in the efforts and can be let go from the company. Also, you're given the impression that you'd be staffed on projects based on your skills/experience but then also told you need to apply to open roles and connect with staffing contacts for open roles but most of the time those contacts dont get back to you.

Thanks for taking the time to leave these comments. Starting a career in consulting can be unlike any other because there is a level of project unpredictability that many other professions do not grapple with. I encourage you and others newer to the company to be engaged with the company, your local office and talent community to get the most out of your Avanade experience. This in turn organically helps with contacts and connections with people and develops your network. In addition, I encourage you to reach out with these concerns to your career adviser and your scheduler so they can assist you as you move forward and help develop a robust career plan.

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.
