Varied work with large and mid-sized clients, although often there's too much focus on profit rather than quality. - Group Manager Avanade Employee Review

Pros

Some great people to work with, a good chance to learn Microsoft technologies, and great opportunities to work with clients across all industry sectors.

Cons

In the last 5 years technologists have taken a back seat to salesmen, project work has become increasingly risk averse, and the company has become more a subsidiary of Accenture than a separate company with its own culture.

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.
