Pros

Talented people, access to latest Microsoft technologies

Cons

Accenture as parent company has too much control over Avanade. Over the last 18 months, Avanade has slashed their internal workforce with a "Future Ready" talent strategy, replacing almost all roles in corporate functions (HR, Finance, IT) with offshore resources (India, Argentina, Spain). In the consulting workforce, many of the most senior individuals have left, leaving a big gap in leadership coaching/mentoring. Those that stayed continue to work crazy hours with little to no time for professional development/training.

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.
