Pros

The colleagues are great - really knowledgeable and always happy to help when you are stuck with an issue.

Cons

Current management are ineffectual and their communication is terrible. The general feeling is that they are running down the business so that it can be absorbed into Accenture as soon as possible. Lots of lay offs in the last 6 months; central functions like HR have been moved to Accenture (with most people being laid off). Several national offices have already been moved to Accenture too. Most people have not had a pay rise in a years (I know many who have not had one since 2021) so now people have had enough and are leaving. Moral is at an all time low.

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.
