Pros
I worked for a company that was acquired by Avanade and had a number of incredibly knowledgeable colleagues that came over as part of the acquisition. The company has a Good Benefits Package including Pension, Private Health for you as an individual, Utilisation Bonus, Company Profit Share bonus and one off annual Extended Bonus of 1.9k for you to spend on what you like. You get to work on big Enterprise Level projects. There was a good calibre of graduates being hired through the Graduate scheme. The Avanade rewards scheme allows you to award reward points to colleagues you believe have done a good job which can be used on a website to purchase small gifts and consumables.
Cons
Lots of the knowledgeable colleagues carried over from our previously acquired company left and went elsewhere. Poor Sales to Services communication leading to ridiculously long hours to deliver projects. Micro Managing style of management by more senior leaders in some projects made daily life difficult. IP products that where being developed in parallel with normal project delivery work and expected to be utilized on multiple other projects did not have a product budget and as a result were seriously under invested in. Too much red tape and unnecessary meetings that were not connected with Client Delivery. Well skilled graduates left languishing on the bench for several months. Saw too many promotions that were not really deserved due to being a social butterfly, a "face fits" agenda or because the promotion fitted with the wider company agenda. In the CEO briefings - apart from championing Diversity and Inclusion (not that there is anything wrong with that) I struggled to understand what the company stood for or what it's strategic direction was. Accenture driven projects in particular were very poorly managed.
