Pros

Avanade provides good benefits, an average pay check and a complimentary water bottle.

Cons

1. Vision-less and underwhelming leadership and thats generous 2. Toxic mid level politics are driven by the lack of vision / leadership 3. Non meritorious boot-licking culture - lick your way up the ladder 4. Attrition rate of talent is worrying - only those who lick remain 6. Minimal upward feedback. which makes it a top-down mess 7. Bad work-life balance as projects are being sold very cheap

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.
