Pros

Good client opportunities Good resources for training Passionate about inclusion and diversity

Cons

Low pay compared to other consultancies. Shocking how low the more junior staff are paid when promoted compared to other companies who promote people. Can take 2-3 years on average to get a promotion for an extra 4 grand a year. When you break down the extra hours we spend after 5:30 workingm we are paid pretty poorly. We are expected to do non client work e.g internal initiatives which can take a good few hours a week which end up being done after work hours due to demanding client work. We do not get paid or rewarded for this. We are told this will help our promotion cases but in truth people have done really good jobs with these initiatives and not been rewarded. They promote work/life balance but no one really sees it.

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.
