Pros

glassdoor requires that I put in at least 20 words for Pros. But this company has little to no pros. You can imagine why Microsoft loves this company. It's a technology company, that's about the only Pro I can think of.

Cons

One of the worst companies to work for. Pay is very very low, such that it is truly not worth working for. That's because the company's revenue to number of employees ratio is very small. There are many companies big and small in this area who pay double or more than what this company pays. The company is very cheap and does Microsoft's bidding in terms of driving down the pay rate of developers and engineers. Management also lies. They will lure you in, by promising to increase your pay if you show quality work. But that will never happen. The pay raises are an insult. It comes nowhere close to the rate of inflation. If you have a family to feed. This is the last company to work for. Specially with the level of inflation we see these days. To add insult to injury, you will also be Micromanaged. You will not be treated with respect by Management, rather they are quite rude and arrogant. I can write up more Cons, but I believe the two, Very Low Pay and Being Micromanaged, are enough to help those with self respect stay away from this company.

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.
