Pros

Access to microsoft certification (but you will never be given the "training time" the you have been promised)

Cons

Salary way below average Expect to work up to 14 hours a day during the week and 10 hours during the weekend, with extra hours most of the times not paid Too much pressure and stress, even if you are a junior profile, expect to hear managers screaming insults every single day Promises are never kept, almost impossible to get a promotion, you could end up managing over 20 people for years and still be a "junior analyst" with 22k € compensation (seen with my eyes) If you don't like the project you are working on it's almost impossible to be assigned to another project

Pros

- You can get as many Microsoft certifications as you want - Sometimes there are cool learning opportunities (i.e. I attended an AI training in Seattle)

Cons

- Work was uninteristing. There are very limited data science projects. The Data and Analytics projects I was on were boring simple BI/data visualization projects. - Staffing process is unreliable. Getting staffed on a project impacts your ability to get a promotion yet there's no good way to ensure you can get staffed. - Pay is very low. Especially in Denver. I left and got a 55% base salary increase. - Promotion process is inflexible. I was hired at the senior analyst level. I was told it was because I was between levels and not to worry because I could be promoted in 6 months. However, it was clear to my leads from the beginning I should've been hired at a consultant level. I then wasn't able to be promoted after 6 months due to a low chargeablity rate (see staffing process). Also, even if I had been up for promotion, the process takes 3 months from start to finish. That seems unnecessarily long for a salary increase you've earned. - Lack of response from management. They blew me off for 3 months when I asked for a salary renegotiation. This may be due to lack of funding in the Data and Analytics talent community.

The fast-paced nature of the consulting industry often means that, despite our best efforts, we cannot always predict staffing needs; I'm sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your career progression because of this. If you have any questions or more comments, please feel free to contact me at Adam.Wengert@avanade.com.
