Pros

Extended Benefits Flexible working from home

Cons

No work/life balance Development is encouraged but only rewarded for Chargeable Consultants. Always overlooked if you're a cost to the business High staff turnover in the office, which management don't seem to care about Useless HR team. You're lucky if you get a response When people leave they pile more work on the poor suckers that are still there rather than replace them The "structured" annual appraisal programme that is designed to be fair but actually means you can be working your butt off for months/years without progression, promotion or financial reward Pathetic annual bonus

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.
