Pros

There are no pros to list. Biggest pro is handing in your notice

Cons

- below market pay - terrible work life balance. I was once contacted at midnight on a Saturday to work. I actually wish I’d tracked all my unpaid overtime hours worked because I believe I would have been paid less than the minimum wage per hour. - any talk about valuing your career progression is a lie in my experience - people treat juniors like commodities - don’t expect to be put on a project that aligns with your career goals. They don’t care. - there is a chance you’ll be put on repetitive manual tasks for a project for extended periods of time. This is to fill gaps in solution design that aren’t recognised until it’s too late.

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.
