Pros

used to be a good place to work - not anymore

Cons

1. It's a sinking ship, and management is trying to fix holes with duct tape. 2. Quarterly Layoff is a normal thing - you have a project, you stay, or else you are kicked out. 3. Not a consulting firm anymore - more of a recruitment agency, You are here till you have a project (customer billing) else you're out. 4. A deck with 500 or even 10000 slides won't fix the problems; they need to understand the market trend. 5. If you have options, don't join Avanade—they might hire you as an architect but sell you as a system admin.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
