Pros

As stated in the header, the culture is great. It's the people that make working there enjoyable. There are often after hours events where you can just hang out and network with people in the company. The work life balance is also great since the job is almost completely remote (unless you get placed on a project that requires you to be on-site or travel). Benefits are also decent. They pay for Microsoft certification exams.

Cons

Your job basically becomes job hunting which is conveniently not described during the hiring process. You spend a good amount of your time applying to roles using a horribly ineffective tool or trying to circumvent the tool by reaching out to people who often don't even respond. If you are unable to get a role quick enough you get laid off. The little "support" offered to get you a role basically amounts to a weekly resume workshop and an occasional call with your team lead who will just tell you to apply more and remind you of the looming threat to your job if you don't find something (I was given a 5 application per day requirement). If you do get a role it often only last a couple months then you are back to looking for another role (unless you are one of the lucky few to land a 1+ year contract). The biggest issue with all of this is that whether or not there are even enough roles is completely out of your control. If you are unfortunate enough to roll off a project during a time where there are more people looking than there are roles available than your days at the company may be numbered.

Pros

Avanade is small enough that it is easy to get involved or stand out by making the right connections and taking on +1 roles.

Cons

The company's commitment to DEI is very clearly waning. Employees can't get clear answers, support, or guidance on the progress of DEI initiatives with data to back it up. Employees are expected to be DEI ambassadors with no reward. No numbers/progress are updated or shared. The company's diversity feels like its regressed back to pre 2020 representation.

Pros

Huge company with a lot of things automated. Like yearly bonuses and salaries. During hiring process they didn't care for your German language level. Have a guided carrier paths with help of coworkers.

Cons

Very small business potential. Very few and limited clients. They push you (developer) to do the selling of your coworkers to the clients. They put a heavy pressure on you to find the jobs for your selves even though you are not hired to do that.
