      A decent place if you don't mind working long hours for mediocre pay

      Solutions developer

      Pros

      Very technology driven. They really support developers and their technical growth. I learned a lot in the 12 months I was there. There were some cool benefits, including a technical spending package of $2000/year on anything techie. Although this was back in 2005 so I'm not sure if they still have this. They paid for my Microsoft Certification in full. I was really grateful for that.

      Cons

      I worked in the Denver office from 2004-2005. It was very frustrating being there. The pay was very substandard and the senior management played a "buddy" system with their church friends. They seemed to be the only ones that moved up. As far as the corporation as a whole, I don't think it was as bad, but the Denver office really handled things poorly. It was very political.

      Great place to work! No, really!

      Pros

      It's a treat to work with so many brilliant minds and inidividual persnalities. I don't get a sense of everyone drinking the corporate "kool aid" (except the recruiters). The innovations in technology we get to use and see put into action with our numerous customers is another good reason to come to work. Also, everyone here understands that we are all only human afterall and cannot be treated like some machine that just pumps out the work 24/7. They really do promote a healthy work/life balance.

      Cons

      As a young-ish company, there have been some bad habits upper management and the execs have fallen into. In my department, our "leader" has never gone to bat for us and he has been this way long before I ever started (9 months ago). There has been a tendancy to let the finance department and the CFO pretty much run the company and if you are not in their favors then you are out of luck.

      Know what you want from your career

      Program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      At Avanade you have the ability to be exposed to the entire spectrum of Microsoft technologies, often before they hit the Alpha or Beta release stage. For example, we had teams working on the innovative MS Surface product for a solution expo before the product was officially announced to the public! There is also a great focus on certification and education. Also, Avanade will help you get what you want out of your career as long as YOU drive it and make opportunities for yourself.

      Cons

      Engagements are heavily based in technology, and projects often lose sight of the bigger strategic business impacts of their project efforts. Engagement management must continually balance technology against the strategic business drivers for their projects, and Avanade's senior leadership occasionally doesn't do a very good job of communicating this to customers (which is something that Accenture does remarkably well).
