Pros

Avanade is a good company with good fortune 100 type clients. I enjoyed the recognition of working for a big playing in the consulting field. It also helped to have Accenture as a parent company. They were able to throw tons of work over the wall. I never feared the company would run out of growth opportunities.

Cons

When working at Avanade you have to do a bunch of traveling. Basically you trade in your social life. When I worked at Avanade I spent about 90% of my time working at the client's site. That mean 8-12 hours of travel a week plus 40 hours of billable time.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
