Pros

The best part of Avanade is learning and the colleagues. Regarding learning, you can move through a lot of companies and learn their processes and methods. Avanade is a joint venture of Microsoft so you get all the licenses for free. With regards to the colleagues, hungry makes very good friends...

Cons

The salary was simply a catastrophe. 12K EUR a year in 2004. Performance are measured by comparing you to your colleagues. The rate I got from my customer was the highest but my manager told me "look, all the people are having very good ratings so I will give you a 'meet expectations'".

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.
