Pros

Solid brand, WFH (if you prefer this)

Cons

I joined Avanade in March 2022 and never actually got the chance to work on a client facing project because of staffing issues. Was laid off February 2023. Their BD/Sales pipeline seemed to be quite dormant. Working remotely didn’t allow me to make the connections I felt like I needed to get staffed. They brought back 50 day bench warnings early in 2023.

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.
