Pros

- Loved the people and made great relationships. - Good opportunity to grow and develop, especially at junior levels. - Good working culture - you're going to work hard in consulting, but certainly a lot better than other consultancies. - Good promotion opportunities for junior levels, but still some improvements to be made (see cons) - Strong leadership that encourages engagement and interaction at all levels.

Cons

- Poor pay increases for fast developers. I moved company and easily made an extra 50% basic salary. This is a common story for those joining at Analyst / Sr Analyst Levels who develop and progress quickly. - Poor promotion opportunities when compared to other consultancies, especially when looking at Con/Sr Con/Manager level promotions. Promotions should be based on high performance, ability, and consistency, not just 'time in level' - Very tech focused if you want to influence and design for a wider ecosystem of business/enterprise as well as tech.

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.
