Pros

Good people, trying to do good work, but Accenture and Avanade gets in the way

Cons

- Salaries, especially for internal corporate (non-client facing consulting) roles, are far below market - Recruiters will flat-out lie to you, don't believe anything they tell you about the work, career trajectories and realistic timelines for promo or growth opportunities, assume that the level and salary you negotiate at sign-up is where you'll be for years and annual bonuses/salary increases are microscopic - Line managers are poorly trained and will ding the team for even the most minor of error and employees are rarely recognized even for substantial achievements - e.g., if you ask if it's ok to turn something at noon tomorrow that was originally due today and your manager says, "no problem" - expect to see "misses deadlines" in your review - HR does nothing about the toxic and unprofessional people in the organization - Avanade likes to massively over-engineering every process and corp is filled with people doing busywork in an effort to try to look like they're adding value

Pros

- Yearly "Extended Benefits" stipend for tech, learning, or services to make travel easier - Lots of smart technologists and architects to work with - Great place to beef up on .NET skills and certs for someone early in their career - Fairly easy to move to other cities - The good projects can be really good. Mission-critical internationally-deployed systems solving hard problems.

Cons

- Like any consulting gig, some of the bad projects are as bad as the good ones are good - Like any consulting gig, you're often brought onto a project that's running late, and were described to clients who actively dislike consultants as a genius who'll solve everything. - Over the years I was there, morphed from being its own unique company to merely a wing of Accenture. None of these changes were for the better. - Politics often play a role in promotion, but more importantly in staffing - Getting on a highly-visible, successful, well-regarded project is key to promotion, but you often have no say in staffing whatsoever.
