Pros

1. The internal and external training opportunities are great. We are second to only one other company in this area. 2. Smart people and things get done. There's not a lot of red tape. 3. People are empowered and communication is good. 4. We've been named by consulting magazine a best company to work for

Cons

1. The Work/Life balance could be a lot better here. A minimum of 55 hours/week is expected of us and most put in much more than that. 2. Compensation could be better 3. The way we are rated against each other to determine advancement 4. Our attrition numbers are down but it could still get a lot better.

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.
