Pros

Market relevant remuneration, gadget allowance, some senior managers (but very few) willing to mentor.

Cons

Long hours (due to understating statements of work) simply to win business. Account Managers nowhere to be seen when stakeholders on client side use bullying tactics to get what they want. Accenture promote sycophant graduates to management level positions and before you know it, you are taking vague orders off an inexperienced person 10 years younger than you. Being a sandbag - you will not grow. You will be left to rot on an account with zero prospects of growth, support or direction. You're just a sandbag with a marginal rate that someone else benefits from when all the hard work is done by others on half the salary.

Acting with integrity and respect is a core Avanade value, so if that was not your experience I want to be sure I address it. If you're comfortable sharing more details about your time here, or if you have any other comments or feedback, let me know in an email at mac.ghani@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.
