      Top heavy, can't stop being a consultant-based business - Anonymous employee Avanade Employee Review

      Pros

      Decent pay and benefits. Good focus on inclusion. Good work/life balance with a lot of work from home positions.

      Cons

      VERY top-heavy. There are WAY too many people pulling down six figures whose jobs seem to boil down to vague hand-waving, being in meetings and pumping out PowerPoint decks for no real discernible purpose. Also, even though they've been trying to pivot to a *aaS model, they have trouble breaking free of their consultant mindset. Everything at the company revolves around consultants. I had a position of consultant and then senior consultant, despite never having consulted a day in my life: this is just how they break down their salary levels (e.g., analyst, senior analyst, consultant, senior consultant, etc.), but it influences everything in the company, where everything is seen as a project and there's not a whole lot of organization around creating sustainable products.

      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.
