Pros

Great people on the ground. Great purpose and vision. Great opportunities in technology.

Cons

Work life balance has been extremely poor since Covid, with senior leaders being asked to do so many +1 roles. Upper management isn't in touch with the people on the ground. Unfortunately a global leader with too many titles/responsibilities has been making poor decisions for several years, apparently with no accountability for his own strategic actions. Management by fear instead of what the company was built on. Over the past 12 months they cut some really good people who had been with the company since the early days, and treated them poorly on exit. That doesn't go unnoticed within the ranks. Short term decisions have long term consequences.

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.
