Pros

As with any consulting company, I benefited from working on a variety of projects with clients in different industries.

Cons

A consistent pattern for at least 2 years of CEO, North America general manager, and practice leads boasting about company performance and then denying bonuses, raises, and promotions while laying-off employees. North America GM regularly saying incredibly naive and ignorant things in townhalls, such as "I'm really excited because I just hired some AI-first engineer college graduates!" concurrently with the above gaslighting. Also, now pivoting to selling Agentic AI to mid-sized companies even though 2 years into the AI hype cycle there STILL IS NO ROI.

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.
