Beware the Bench

Pros

You get to work with some very bright people in your field. The sign-on bonus and extended benefits monies are a nice lure - but risky.

Cons

The staffing process can be a pain, especially if your region's pipeline is nonexistent. I was at Avanade for 8 months, and was only staffed for 3 months total, with extended bench time in between. Accenture (parent co) has an unwritten rule that if you're on the bench for 8 weeks or longer, they let you go. Four weeks notice, and they take back a pro-rated amount of your sign-on bonus if you're <1yr. Beware Accenture-sold projects. They tend to implode.

Pros

Paid while on the bench. Paid overtime. Good starting place for someone with less then 2 years experience or limited skills.

Cons

Pay is low, at least 10% below market. No work life balance, can’t take vacation while on a project. Micromanaged from both Accenture and Avande. 401k match after 1 year (High Turnover). Limited to Microsoft technology.

Pros

great colleagues, on the surface great organisational values but not real as the way people are treated is horrendously stressful. Strong approach to delivery on client but if any slightly negative feedback and the delivery manager gets the blame despite catalogue of evidence of poor deal structure imposed on them.

Cons

nebulous performance feedback method. ZERO pipeline and secretive redundancies strategy. performance. Deal owners will throw you under the bus if it turns out their deal assumptions were mistaken or intentionally incorrect. HR does not care about your wellbeing, they will use whatever you say as a reason to get rid of you later. Hire and fire.
