Pros

Top 5 reasons to consider working here: 1) The collaboration is amazing. 2) There is full communication across all levels within the company (Analyst to Director). 3) Intellectual knowledge is freely shared, which makes learning a joy. 4) Your worth is measured by your product knowledge - rather than your title. 5) The training opportunities are exceptional. Certifications, classes, professional development - all inclusive.

Cons

Top 3 reasons to look elsewhere: 1) Accenture owns Avanade and the work cultures are very different. One rough Accenture project (and there's plenty of those) and you'll be on LInkedIn looking for your next opportunity. 2) An overly collaborative environment unfortunately sacrifices any chance for true leadership development. There are plenty of Managers, but exceptionally few leaders here. Accenture is not looking for leaders with their hired help. 3) The bonuses/pay-raises are insulting.

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.
