Pros

Some big, innovative projects with big clients in local and international market opp to work across world in projects if you have learn it all mindset, you can rotate (if you are successful) to other projects with different skill needs 5-MyDays off extra to regular leave balances Gadget allowance is decent Most people are great and helpful when needed

Cons

-Promotion depends on your boss, client paying for project and Sr leadership to approve. No benchmarking is defined to compare all in same matrix. -Pay and increments are less than market. On the same level, there may be a salary difference of up to 20-30K per year. - Big teams have burnout issues due to race for promotion to tick more boxes. - You might end up in a body-shop style project - No investment in you from company until you prove yourself for 2 years such as paid trainings . If approved, you might have to sign repayment bond for it. - Based on your team, you may not have transparency as what is going on apart from project. -No training request system, it depends on your boss. -You might not get credit to work what you did because your boss (who is your marketing person) may not highlight that above.

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.
