Pros

There used to be many, now - unless you're fresh out of college and want to grind it out for a few years and get out, it isn't worth it.

Cons

Avanade used to be an excellent place to work, with great values, many different paths to success - if you tried something and it wasn't for you, you could train up, and transfer practically anywhere in the company, and growth was supported. Post COVID, the non-stop layoffs, no support for existing employees, and grueling hours for those who remain are a non-starter. Avanade is another body shop that's just a staff-aug arm of Accenture at this point. They have lost their way.

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.
