Pros

Everyone is friendly and helpful, willing to work together as a team Excellent place to start if you want to head over to Microsoft or Accenture in the future, and if you are very interested in the Microsoft tech stack A lot of flexibility and they do try to support employees Pretty innovative company

Cons

Terrible work life balance - 80-hour work weeks can be the norm, especially if you are enrolled on a project. They're paying below market rate for all their positions if you just look at base pay for similar positions. Coupled with working hours, your per-hour rate isn't super.

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.
