      Pros

      Latest technology on Microsoft Platform, If you have the talent and are ready to put in long hours you'll be rewarded with challenging projects. Lots of free gadgets and free MSDN subscription and Windows Phone. You travel a lot , lots of opportunity to collect frequent flyer cards and enjoy premium hotel stays When it comes to technology, you'll find plenty of geeks and smart people you can rely on. (Don't expect to have conversations about financial markets,business models or market trends here) Your technical talent will be appreciated verbally. Very good place for freshers who want to get a taste of consulting Flat organization, you can anytime reach out to the director or senior management International community of service lines is strong, lots of exchange of ideas. If you are on direct projects, you'll truly enjoy the value you deliver at the client Great focus on IT training & opportunities get Microsoft certifications. Generous number of holidays per year. You can take time off with family.

      Cons

      Everybody wants to make Accenture Managers happy rather than making the Client happy The only people to face the clients are the Analysts and Consultants while often Managers, Group Managers and especially Director level people usually sit in the offices away from the clients. Of late culture has deteriorated remarkably, your charge-ability or IT intellectual Assets or client appreciation doesn't matter, what matters for promotion is weather you have spent time with the director or group manager on some in-house project. It's a normal practice to see people getting promoted when they come-up with offer to resign or when Accenture asks promoting the employee for not putting the project at risk for fear of loosing a resource on a critical project Very few direct projects. Shark-eat-shark culture thrives -- As is the case in most consulting companies. Many ex-Accenture people get dumped at Avanade. Annual review systems isn't really what it claims to be. People with 3 or 4 years of consecutive highest review rating and IT asset creation often go unnoticed.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Opportunities to work on medium to large scale projects. You will learn a lot and develop both technical and soft skills if you work hard at it. - Travel which can be a good or a bad thing. - Good exposure to Microsoft products. - Training opportunities for improving technical and soft skills. I enjoyed flying to Seattle to attend the in person trainings. Avanade also covers the cost for taking certification exams. - Free MSDN Subscription - Yearly $2000 allowance to spend on things that could help with work/life balance such as Gym membership, electronic items etc.

      Cons

      - Greatly influenced by the parent company Accenture. Most large projects come from Accenture so sometimes you don't feel that you are directly contributing. - Lack of focus on people and more on meeting annual sales targets. Lots of times consultants are put in staff augmentation projects where they are not able to fully utilize their skills and experience. - Salary.
