Pros

-100% vested in 401k from start -reputable within the marketplace which makes your opportunity to be poached HIGH!

Cons

-I see people leaving the company (leadership and all levels) every week -entry level college grad positions are extremely underpaid, even with promotions and raises, you will always be below the market rate -promotions can be hard if you are not well connected with leadership -there is stack ranking so you have to do better than your peers to get promoted -some projects will make you work overtime and not pay you for it -WLB will depend on your project -low bonuses

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.
