Pros

Avanade provides a great work-life balance along with a tight-knit international community ready to help each other out as necessary. Of course, like any other consultancy, it comes with its share of politics (in particular with Accenture, one of it's parent companies that treats it like an orphaned child), but not enough to deter employees away from enjoying their jobs.

Cons

Projects feel more like staff augmentation as opposed to consulting gigs. There needs to be more emphasis placed on downward communication from above, including information about the future of each region, current and existing projects, etc in order to promote a better understanding of what's going on in other parts of the vast regions that Avanade has.

Pros

Very technology driven. They really support developers and their technical growth. I learned a lot in the 12 months I was there. There were some cool benefits, including a technical spending package of $2000/year on anything techie. Although this was back in 2005 so I'm not sure if they still have this. They paid for my Microsoft Certification in full. I was really grateful for that.

Cons

I worked in the Denver office from 2004-2005. It was very frustrating being there. The pay was very substandard and the senior management played a "buddy" system with their church friends. They seemed to be the only ones that moved up. As far as the corporation as a whole, I don't think it was as bad, but the Denver office really handled things poorly. It was very political.

Pros

It's a treat to work with so many brilliant minds and inidividual persnalities. I don't get a sense of everyone drinking the corporate "kool aid" (except the recruiters). The innovations in technology we get to use and see put into action with our numerous customers is another good reason to come to work. Also, everyone here understands that we are all only human afterall and cannot be treated like some machine that just pumps out the work 24/7. They really do promote a healthy work/life balance.

Cons

As a young-ish company, there have been some bad habits upper management and the execs have fallen into. In my department, our "leader" has never gone to bat for us and he has been this way long before I ever started (9 months ago). There has been a tendancy to let the finance department and the CFO pretty much run the company and if you are not in their favors then you are out of luck.
