Pros

Not as bad as Accenture - but we're getting there! Pay is good OK benefits Work remotely

Cons

"People first!" and "make a human impact!" Total BS. Avanade suffers from its own blind spots in both technology and business and there is no scope of the future aside from the certainty that it will have something to do with tasteless Microsoft tools in Azure. Very weak team management who can only act on the results of the unhappy marriage of parents Accenture and Microsoft. Close to zero business pipeline and Avanade doesn't do marketing. Good luck there. Avanade was a fun place to be years ago, but the glory days of SI's is over in tech and the resulting hell to pay gets passed on to fall-guy proxy leadership. The organization is top-heavy with operational BS via Accenture, and culturally, Avanade itself. Anything outside the Azure box is nearly impossible on the sinking ship.

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.
