Pros

Global MNC and is a microsoft partner. colleagues are helpful and you get a good mix of people to work with. Some manager value work-life balance and respect your time.

Cons

Lately a lot of politics with the appointment of new leads, who are only supporting and pulling their own group of people up and ignoring the rest which causes the other employees to stagnate in their positions for very long.

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.
