- Work/life balance is good - Excellent benefits - Good access to training

Cons

- No opportunities for growth at higher levels - Definitely an "old boys club" mentality - Accenture controls everything the company does at this point - Entrepreneurial spirit has vanished - Company has turned into a bean counters delight - Internal processes are cumbersome and lack agility - Same old, stale talent rehashed throughout leadership positions

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.
