Pros

The best part of Avanade is learning and the colleagues. Regarding learning, you can move through a lot of companies and learn their processes and methods. Avanade is a joint venture of Microsoft so you get all the licenses for free. With regards to the colleagues, hungry makes very good friends...

Cons

The salary was simply a catastrophe. 12K EUR a year in 2004. Performance are measured by comparing you to your colleagues. The rate I got from my customer was the highest but my manager told me "look, all the people are having very good ratings so I will give you a 'meet expectations'".

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.
