Pros

Free training for azure certifications, on your own time though....

Cons

Its an orange themed sweatshop. God forbid if you are on a Visa or a work permit tied to your employer. The only thing that matters is billability and they will squeeze you forever. They have no problems skirting the lines between what are legal and illegal in terms of employee welfare but will happily preach that they are one of the best places to work for. They were advertising a few of years ago that they were nominated for best places to work a week AFTER laying off people. The vacation days don't matter because you will be asked to take them in case of bench time even if you don't need a vacation. And please don't get burned out or tired, and raise a hand, tired = fired. Now as per policy if a person is hard locked then they are supposed to be released from the project and onboarded to a new one. But nope it's easy for a senior to override it. What's the point of a hard lock anyways. It becomes a lot worse if you are a person of color or on a visa, (the perfect visa slave). Where will you go? Back to your own country. That's the mentality of management. But you know what BE ORANGE.

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.
