Pros

Gadget allowance. Veneer of doing good through numerous, almost compulsory, social welfare programs. Chance of a bonus. Microsoft owns a bit of the company, for what that's worth...

Cons

Hmmm. Majority owned by one of the worst companies on Earth. A company that had to change its name after being implicated in Enron. A company that hunted an employee that started a website called exposingevilempire.com check it out.

Beware the Bench

Pros

You get to work with some very bright people in your field. The sign-on bonus and extended benefits monies are a nice lure - but risky.

Cons

The staffing process can be a pain, especially if your region's pipeline is nonexistent. I was at Avanade for 8 months, and was only staffed for 3 months total, with extended bench time in between. Accenture (parent co) has an unwritten rule that if you're on the bench for 8 weeks or longer, they let you go. Four weeks notice, and they take back a pro-rated amount of your sign-on bonus if you're <1yr. Beware Accenture-sold projects. They tend to implode.

BODY SHOP for Accenture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Paid while on the bench. Paid overtime. Good starting place for someone with less then 2 years experience or limited skills.

Cons

Pay is low, at least 10% below market. No work life balance, can’t take vacation while on a project. Micromanaged from both Accenture and Avande. 401k match after 1 year (High Turnover). Limited to Microsoft technology.
