Pros

- Pay isn't too bad compared with market averages, on the higher end (soon to be revealed why)

Cons

- Shocking place, basically a Japanese firm masked as a foreign firm. People are worked relentlessly by Japanese clients, with little to no projects working with foreign firms. - They will straight up lie to you in the interview to try and tell you that this place is much better than it is, whether this be in project scope, requirements or what they want from you as an employee. This is the experience that I have had. - Awful, basically nonexistant internal communication. Everyone is distant, uncommunicative and unresponsive. - Complete lack of transparancy in all aspects of work Please, if you are a foreigner looking for work in Japan, do yourself a favour and steer clear.

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.
