Pros

Very few pros. The $2000 annual stipend is still in place…for now.

Cons

Avanade is increasingly becoming indistinguishable from Accenture in the worst possible ways. On top of that, leadership waited far too long to push out senior executives who tanked the business and instead have performed rolling mass layoffs disguised as performance / bench issues. Sales incentive programs change each year while the business is trying to penetrate a new segment of customers while not addressing cost issues internally. This makes it incredibly hard to succeed while us sellers continue to bear the responsibility of the business not growing.

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.
