Pros

Very few pros. The $2000 annual stipend is still in place…for now.

Cons

Avanade is increasingly becoming indistinguishable from Accenture in the worst possible ways. On top of that, leadership waited far too long to push out senior executives who tanked the business and instead have performed rolling mass layoffs disguised as performance / bench issues. Sales incentive programs change each year while the business is trying to penetrate a new segment of customers while not addressing cost issues internally. This makes it incredibly hard to succeed while us sellers continue to bear the responsibility of the business not growing.

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.
