Pros

Partially owned by Microsoft and Accenture (gold plated health plans and access to "Big Projects") Management recognizes that happy and satisfied employees make the difference in delivery for the customers Competitive pay and benefits. Great place to start a career in consulting as the onboarding and training that is provided is priceless. Mature tools for sales and delivery process and methodologies. Flexible work is a thing and something that is real.

Cons

Mostly owned by Accenture. This can be a con for some of the projects that are managed by Accenture (not all) as their culture is that of a Big 5 consulting firm and the "employee first" culture doesn't pervade as much as within Avanade.

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.
