Pros

Great flexibility and work life balance. Caring colleagues. Lots of really smart, innovative people. I truly enjoy working with most of our leaders and teams. Well intentioned company initiatives around DEI, wellbeing and culture.

Cons

Company leadership is more focused on the short term vs. the bigger strategy and overlook common sense on doing what's right by our current people. No investment in the right places that will really grow/benefit the business. Some individuals and behaviors in the most senior leadership positions, including our CEO, are a complete contradiction to everything we tout about our culture. Communications and transparency are terrible. The organization has additionally chosen push forward with operating model changes that have clearly not been thought through, at a terrible time and the management of it has been nothing short of disastrous. Decision processes are shady and not in line procedure.

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.
