Pros

Very intelligent people who have diverse interests Large global company that has tons of initiatives High level of internal collaboration and opportunities Recognition for those who take ownership of their careers Good place to be starting a career or ending one, but not for mid-career growth

Cons

Lots of internal politics and bureaucracy that stifles career growth Truthfully speaking, only Toronto, Montreal, and (recently) Ottawa matter out of all the offices in Canada (good luck if you're in Western Canada) Leadership does not prioritize growth of its people and often sides with nepotism

Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture Recognition for good work

Cons

Consulting in general is not what it used to be Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles' CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
