Pros

Strong technical people, Nice extended benefit. The Bench.

Cons

I was only at Avanade for 9 months. I was sold on the strategy shift towards digital and the opportunity to build that out. I was also told the travel would be more like it was in an agency. In the end none of that proved true. I was specialized in mobile applications and didn't work on or see one mobile application project in the pipeline. Avanade is VERY Microsoft centric. Too much so in today's world. I also wish I'd have know that Avanade was essentially Accenture's Microsoft arm. I would never have joined the company as there's nothing about Accenture staff aug that appeals to me. Travel is 100% no matter what they tell you. Career opportunities are limited and driven by how much revenue you generate or save especially at the higher levels.

Pros

Avanade is probably a great company to work for on the consulting side. Pay was reasonable and WFH opportunities were plentiful. Usually good camaraderie with your immediate team if the manager is competent.

Cons

The UCCMS / managed services business built from acquiring Azaleos is an unmitigated disaster. Avanade turned this business into a toxic wasteland with incompetent and oblivious managers. Workers were leaving in droves (30 by the time of my departure and many more since) without a single position back-filled. The focus was on gaining very big customers that the team was not ready to handle while at the same time forcing away the smaller, long-term customers that were literally a license to print money.
