Pros

Nothing much, pros don't apply to this company

Cons

Many 1. Less pay 2. You have to bear the expenses when you travel 3. If you spend 100 euros on travel there is no guarantee that you can even get 20 euro in return from the management 4. For this 20 euro you need to get the permission or approval from your manager and then your managers manager and payroll 5. Other than your client job you have to a lot of avanade job like you have to be on bench after each project, there is no guarante of the location where you can get assigned to, you need to update your resume on many portals like you are not an employee anymore, you have to update many business applications and follow many apps on social media and promote avanade, post pics etc., 6. You have to bear the flight costs also which is a lot of waste of money and this too is too difficult to get refund (remember the approvals) 7. Filling the expenses claiming forms is a big pain 8. They promise to give you an amex card which is too hard to get from the amex dept. you have to struggle a lot 9. Lot of paperwork 10. Most important, ready to get fired without notice 11. No job security

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.
