Pros

There are no pros stay away

Cons

They might pay you well, but run away. You'll be so worried while "on the bench", you will take any project. Those projects will determine your next job, because of the non relevant skills you will gain. You will fall behind by 2 years. Avoid this company at all costs. I've fallen behind by 3 years, and I regret joining this company. I have learned nothing, because I have been on random projects, that have not added value to my core skills. My career track has been derailed. Don't waste your time and don't let them determine your career, instead you should control that.

Beware of the bench

Pros

Avanade is a great place to work and consulting gets you exposure to many types of industries. This goes a long way with just about any employer that will come after them. The people are great! They're backed by two powerhouses so the access to training and resources is pretty good.

Cons

Avanade is extremely political. Promotions are supposed to be fair, but the process is not. The bench warnings suck. You can get one as a "seasoned" employee that has been with them for a while and get the choice between begging someone to put you on a project (not for performance, but lack of work) or a severance package. Meanwhile, the people they just hired are still employed.

Pros

Good work/life balance Free certifications Interesting projects Good benefits

Cons

Fake culture - It’s hard to speak nicely about a company when everything you thought you knew about them ended up being a lie. As long as times are good, there is a lot of talk about caring for employees and being a team. As soon as anything goes wrong, they take no accountability. The whole “culture” of “do what matters” is a complete charade. If you work here, make sure to keep your guard up.
