Pros

Good place for college grads to learn a specialty.

Cons

Subsidiary of Accenture - and more and more dependent on the parent to generate revenue, and which also makes it hard for Avanade to get out from under the parent's shadow. Also ~20% owned by Microsoft, but no special favors there. There is some great talent that comes through, but management doesn't do a great job of recognizing talent when the have it. The internal roles, such as within IT and operations are fine, but the consulting roles are too specialized and complicate efficient delivery of solutions.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
