Pros

-Push to get certified in things that interest you to increase your value -Elite consulting firm without the snobby attitudes (aka, a lot of very smart AND humble people) -You can get involved in some pretty cool stuff

Cons

They are a pump and dump company in terms of hiring. They clearly see it as when business is good, hire hire hire, then when it goes bad due to their poor decisions, you simply lay a massive amount of people off. I remember when they announced their EXTREMLEY ambitious growth target for FY23 (while everyone else in the world knew a recession was coming) that this would be trouble. I was unfortunately correct. These layoffs could have been avoided, or at the minimum, not nearly as bad,

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.
