Avanade has made the transition as a college grad into the work force very well providing all the resources needed. - Entry Level Infrastructure Engineer Avanade Employee Review
Benefits are standard with other companies. However, the extended benefits package is great. Lots of training opportunities and ability to obtain industry relevant certifications.
Cons
Depending on your client, you will see long work hours and a lot of travel taking up time away from family.

Thanks for the input! We love helping new graduates launch their career. We look forward to your growth with us.
Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture
Recognition for good work
Cons
Consulting in general is not what it used to be
Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles'
CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle
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.
