Pros

Avanade provides the best of both worlds in terms of the typical big corporation/small company trade-offs. You get all the big corporation benefits from a multi-national corporation owned by Accenture and Microsoft. You also get the small company input and relationships from working within a regionally aligned company with typical a few hundred people per region. It's a great company to get plugged into early and make a career out of. They treat their employees better than anywhere I've ever worked in 12+ years in the IT industry spanning a half dozen or so employers.

Cons

You've got to be aware of the potential for travel and be willing to embrace that.

Pros

1. The internal and external training opportunities are great. We are second to only one other company in this area. 2. Smart people and things get done. There's not a lot of red tape. 3. People are empowered and communication is good. 4. We've been named by consulting magazine a best company to work for

Cons

1. The Work/Life balance could be a lot better here. A minimum of 55 hours/week is expected of us and most put in much more than that. 2. Compensation could be better 3. The way we are rated against each other to determine advancement 4. Our attrition numbers are down but it could still get a lot better.

Pros

Working with many of the brightest technologist in the business is the biggest benefit to working at Avanade. Peer support is high, and there is a LOT of communication despite the large distances between many of the consultants. There is no concept of "minimum years at position" before a promotion, so in theory the best and brightest can bubble up to the top as soon as they're ready.

Cons

Travel is the #1 drawback to working for a global consulting company, such as Avanade. Consultants must be prepared to spend long hours in the air and lots of time away from their homes. There isn't a lot of transparency into the salary structure, and reviews are only conducted once a year. This can lead to large time gaps between opportunities for promotion and advancement. Also, the bonus program is pretty poultry.
