      Top heavy, can't stop being a consultant-based business

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits. Good focus on inclusion. Good work/life balance with a lot of work from home positions.

      Cons

      VERY top-heavy. There are WAY too many people pulling down six figures whose jobs seem to boil down to vague hand-waving, being in meetings and pumping out PowerPoint decks for no real discernible purpose. Also, even though they've been trying to pivot to a *aaS model, they have trouble breaking free of their consultant mindset. Everything at the company revolves around consultants. I had a position of consultant and then senior consultant, despite never having consulted a day in my life: this is just how they break down their salary levels (e.g., analyst, senior analyst, consultant, senior consultant, etc.), but it influences everything in the company, where everything is seen as a project and there's not a whole lot of organization around creating sustainable products.

      Not the Same but Still Good

      Pros

      -Training opportunities -Top notch accommodations when traveling -Challenging clients -Most people are great to work with (smart, protective of their people, etc.) -Extended benefits ($2000 a year to spend on stuff for work/life balance items)

      Cons

      -Lost some of the culture that made it great. Has gone from a somewhat startup culture to more corporate -Recent acquisition has muddied the cultural waters. Many "new" people don't have the same work ethic/values -Beholden to Accenture many times -Try to be transparent about career path but realistically it can all be thrown in the trash for things you should be doing that aren't on paper (or told to you after it was too late) -Consultants are expected to try and staff themselves

      Pros

      Very strong mission Very strong technical n talented resources Very good package in general Very good management

      Cons

      Working for Avanade is awesome, but is not Avanade only you work for, Accenture managers and business leads will always be their over you head making life toxic and clients overwhelmed, never missing an opportunity to make untechnical n uneducated decisions They treat the Dev resources like and worst than working horses and will end up writing your feedback and annual reviews One bad Accenture manager (and they are a lot) can cause you a lot of damage, Plus... you will end up traveling to client offices from NY to CA and sometime they will ask you to relocate You have th right to deny first 2 or 3 offers to work for a client out of state, but then you will feel the pressure from your leads, which will make you eventually leave, and take. Flight every weekend to far away remote location, for at least 4 month in a row
