Pros

- A really great talented people pool from all around the world. Everybody who knows any tech in this company is extremely supportive and eager to share his knowledge around. - Free MS Exams. - Benefits are... Decent. - WfH without enforcing any mandatory comeback to offices.

Cons

- Accenture will treat you like a pool of workers. Nothing more. - Having to upkeep SEVERAL accounts is horrendous. - People managers (and up) are the kinds of people that should never be in these positions. Our country manager is awful. You can keep your feedback and shove it up yours... cuz they won't listen anyway so why bother? - Accenture INTENTIONALLY puts us as internal competition to their own staff, in regards of everything, which creates tensions and hatred towards one another. Also as a primary shareholder you CAN and WILL answer to them. Even if you don't want to. The company will NOT defend you from Accenture, and even be happy to sacrifice you as a scapegoat. You are bound by accenture rules, accenture policies, accenture systems, accenture everything - Even tho you are not working FOR accenture, and you MUST be happy that you are working with them otherwise you will land yourself in big trouble. tl;dr - You are accenture's property, and you will be treated as such. Or even worse since you technically don't work for them :)

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.
