Good place to start a career, but not for the faint of heart
Pros
*Great money for out-of-college hires *LOTS of experience working in different industries, teams, markets. You will probably feel like you're drowning for the first year or so until you get the hang of it. *Opportunities for career growth *If you are obsessed with all things Microsoft, this is definitely the place to be...
Cons
*Tons of pressure for changeability, which is usually out of your control. Be prepared for clients or your manager breathing down your neck and asking you to justify the hours you spent on tasks. You will always feel like you're playing defense. *Weekly travel is not for the faint of heart - especially when projects are almost always extremely stressful. *Not a lot of culture due to the fact everyone travels during the week and is remote on Fridays. You will become close with people on your project but they will live across the country. *Avanade is becoming more and more controlled in Accenture every year. You will likely be staffed on an Accenture (or even Microsoft) project, meaning if you run into any issues or problems, it's very unlikely Avanade will have any means to help you (they will try, but ultimately they don't have much say).
