Pros

- Current Technology - Globally Connected - Laptops issued have phones/headset, MS LYNC - Fantastic Methodology (for SD, PM, etc. - well planned out and people trained) - Push Employees in Training/Certifications - Great Place for Someone Right out of College - Good Mentors - Pay is in Line with Market

Cons

- Not much say in Projects You Get Assigned To - They don't even ask if you are interested - Totally don't understand the capabilities of some of their staff - A very senior level person may be assigned to a very junior level position (this is more than frustrating and people will leave if they are not challenged - Not at all impressed with BDMs - they go to client sites and don't say hi to company employees (we ARE providing part of your paycheck Mr. BDM), while on the bench BDMs may not return calls, etc. - if these folks are in sales, they should have GREAT relationships with both customers and consulting staff - You have a standardized methodology - why are only some projects using it?

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.
