Pros

Good pay and benefits, affordable healthcare, and a seemingly good place for diversity

Cons

If sales doesn’t get enough new projects, consultants suffer and are put on the bench and only given a certain number of days to get staffed or else they’ll be let go. This gets harder and harder when you’re also competing with Accenture folks for the same roles.

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.
