Pros

Avanade is not great at selling but you can get on the internal portal and do jobs for Accenture.

Cons

If you do too many jobs for Accenture they fire you because they couldn't do their jobs and get Avanade UX work. So they buy Fjord and then fire all their internal employees because Fjord has a bunch of UX work and UX employees.

Thank you for sharing feedback about your time at Avanade. Our direct business continues to grow in all markets, and collaboration with Accenture further expands our ability to undertake exciting projects that connect our employees to new skills and experiences. But it sounds like you experienced some frustrations with project staffing, and I’d value the opportunity to hear more so that we can learn and improve. If you’re willing to discuss those experiences or any other aspects of your time at Avanade with me, please feel free to reach out at amy.wright@avanade.com.

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.
