Business outlook
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.
