Pros

I wanna make a post here for future employees to see as a reference to decide if you wanna join. This is a 100% honest post. Everything is a personal opinion and not influenced by anybody else. As someone who's socially awkward and possibly has ADHD this is the best job I have so far. I joined the company during covid and worked 100% remotely, never meet any colleague in real life. Everything we do is work-related, no unneeded social interaction and this makes me very comfortable. No more "everyone-go-to-a-bar-and-grab-drink" type of event which I HATED in the past during my last few jobs. This is probably a unique situation due to covid but I'm really thankful for that. As someone who hates working on things long-term, Avanade's project usually spans from 3-9 months depending on your TC. I love, love, love this because I get tired of things so quickly and this allows me to shift between many interesting types of work. Every time you shift to another project you work with new people, learn some new skills, and expand your network and knowledge which is awesome. I wish I knew this type of company exists when I first graduated out of college. I worked on different types of tech companies before and hated all of them.. Now I figured in-house tech team is not my thing and I'm so happy I joined Avanade. There's no "you can't do this, you can't do that" type of BS that I encounter in my last few jobs. Everyone is super talented, supportive. You can email anyone requesting help for anything as long as keeping it professional. No more "you can't email this guy because he's the director of x, you need to email this person first and then that" type of bureaucracy.

Cons

The pay is a bit low comparing to most tech companies. However, this is not really a concern for me because I believe you get rich by investing not grinding. Plus the difference is not really that big, so don't make this as the single reason you decide not to join.

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.
