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.

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).

Pros

Avanade provides a supportive environment for learning, developing and networking among some of the most talented and creative professionals in the IT Consulting industry. A wide variety of learning programs, peer training and on-the-job learnings provide Avanade employees the opportunity to expand their knowledge base and further contribute to the organizational growth. The emphasis on developing a career path and fine tuning leadership/management capabilities assures that employees are given the tools to rise to the next level, provided they work hard, contribute regularly and display the aptitude to take the Avanade vision personally as part of their career path and goal to grow with the company.

Cons

Due to the large quantity of work and dedication involved to projects from leadership down to field level support, the work/life balance can become an issue if not continually checked and regulated.
