Pros

Some really good people with exceptional Microsoft knowledge and experience

Cons

No pay rise or bonus for several years. Company has been mismanaged, focussing on their own hype, setting impossible sales and revenue targets and not recognising the sentiment of the staff that do the actual work. Eventually Avanade will be incorporated into Accenture as it doesn't make sense to run it as a separate entity. Morale is very very low and many people are leaving the business.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
