Pros

Very ethical, inclusive, lives by their values, and growth mindset organization. They truly care about their people. When you start, they assign a buddy to help you get started. And throughout your tenure you have a career advisor that regularly checks up on you. They encourage having good work-life balance (gives allowance for buying gadgets, books, gym memberships, etc) and having healthy lifestyle (free app and health tracker device). They also promote continuously building your skills and provide free certifications (primarily Microsoft, but can be other technology / professional certifications).

Cons

Expectations are always high. Always aim to be your best and continuously learn and build your skills. Also your clients could be anywhere in the US or even in other countries. Before Covid, there was lots of traveling. But post covid, there is more flexibility where you could be remote, hybrid, or onsite (i.e. travel), but it still depends on the client. You might think it is easy to choose the opportunity and workstyle you want. But the reality is you have to go with the first opportunity that goes your way as you can't risk staying on the bench for too long or you'll end up with a poor performance evaluation and worse get laid-off.

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.
