Pros

Avanade is a nice place to grow your career and get experience in the consulting industry. Gaining different skillsets from different projects is a nice way to continue learning. The company also emphasizes continuous learning and growth through the form of certifications and training opportunities.

Cons

On the flip side of project-based work, Often you won't be staffed on a project that plays to your strengths. The bench period can be tough and you may end up joining the first project available. A lot of this depends on market conditions and the ability to land a project that fits for you. Another con is that because people in different locations are often working on different projects, the in-person collaboration aspect is not as prevalant - which is why the hybrid/remote working system Avanade has works well. Since the pandemic, it seems as though a lot of clients have adhered to strictly working remotely - can be a pro and a con depending on the stage of career you're in, as some people enjoy being a traveling consultant and others prefer remote. Very reliant on Accenture due to 70% of project opportunities coming from indirect business.

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.
