      Pros

      -Good insurance -Ok 401K -Travel (if you like travel) / Per Diem -Company Events

      Cons

      TLDR: New hires might not get real development experience and might be put on non development roles like being a BA. Also salary is considerably lower than other companies for software developers. To be honest I don't believe anyone should come to Avanade for a job out of college, it is very difficult to get the right experience you want. For example during ignition (the training for new graduate hires), they tell software engineers that their firt project might not be any development. Now if you hire a software engineer but do not give them any software development projects then what is the point? Management is also not the best, and many of the managers don't keep up to date with new technologies or seem to be able to actually develop. Many of the actual development work seems to be outsourced as well, leading to the software developers here mantaining more of a managment role.

      Thank you for your feedback. I understand your frustration at being staffed on projects you don’t think align with your goals or skills, but our goal is not to hire to fill specific project needs but rather build a team of diverse and talented individuals. This means there may be times you are put in roles outside your specific area of expertise, or even interest. However, this also provides opportunities to grow market relevant skills and expand your capabilities, which is one of the great benefits to working in consulting. I encourage you to keep communicating with your career adviser your short and long-term career and project goals, so you can work together to find the right project for you next assignment.

      Software Developers Steer Clear

      Senior developer & team lead

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent to good salary (85K+ for sr. consultant) Decent training budget

      Cons

      - Project managers and scrum masters here have no technical background, but call the shots, not a team lead - High chance of getting stuck on a multi-year project and it's near impossible to get off, even after putting in 2 years. - Non-technical people are viewed as more important than software developers - They don't care if the work aligns to what you want to do, they will put you on any project regardless of your desired tech stack - Your boss won't be on the same project as you, will have no idea what you're doing day-to-day, but they still evaluate you. - Bills client for your overtime, but you are not entitled to any of that - Owner Accenture is held on a pedestal and can do no wrong - Frequently told you must put company first - lots and lots of internal politics - most projects are talked up to sound amazing but in reality are quite mundane

      Disappointed to say the least

      Pros

      - Training - Travel perks (miles or hotel points)

      Cons

      - Not a true meritocracy (skin color makes a BIG difference when it comes to promotion time/appraisals) - At the mercy of Accenture for most projects -Politically charged and caustic workplace environment - Lack of technical depth unlike claims to be msft experts More often than not, we goto Microsoft for help/SME support - Senior management only cares about margins and not the quality of business - Poor work-life balance (depending on project)
