Ok - could be better if the relationship with Accenture, who owns 80% of Avanade, was a bit more open. - Group Manager Avanade Employee Review

Pros

Challenging technologies - you get to work with some of the bleeding edge of technologies Small enough to impact/create change which is cool Benefits are ok relativity speaking

Cons

Growth potential are limited if you are a senior person; choices of projects (clients) - slim pickings if you are a senior person and depend on Accenture to get you into the projects. Accenture keeps the good stuff and offers up projects which they are less than stellar or spiraling down a rathole

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.
