Pros

- Was an amazing company when I first joined. Met the best boss I ever had. Very clear sales vision and was easy to drink the koolaid - Great pay - Great +1 opportunities for leadership

Cons

The last two years Avanade has gone through a lot of changes......from leadership to the way they structure the business to what tech they are focusing on. When layoffs happen, they do not send out formal communications and act like its a secret that shouldn't be acknowledged. When I was laid off, the meeting lasted 3 minutes, not once did my manager thank me for the years I spent at Avanade. I was discarded. They put people in leadership positions that have no business being there. The last two bosses I had were so awful, didn't follow up on anything they said they would do, and provided no mentorship. Heck, one even got fired. They go all in on half-baked Microsoft solutions that no one really knows how to sell or implement. There is so much pressure to sell solutions without the proper sales support.

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.
