Pros

Good people, trying to do good work, but Accenture and Avanade gets in the way

Cons

- Salaries, especially for internal corporate (non-client facing consulting) roles, are far below market - Recruiters will flat-out lie to you, don't believe anything they tell you about the work, career trajectories and realistic timelines for promo or growth opportunities, assume that the level and salary you negotiate at sign-up is where you'll be for years and annual bonuses/salary increases are microscopic - Line managers are poorly trained and will ding the team for even the most minor of error and employees are rarely recognized even for substantial achievements - e.g., if you ask if it's ok to turn something at noon tomorrow that was originally due today and your manager says, "no problem" - expect to see "misses deadlines" in your review - HR does nothing about the toxic and unprofessional people in the organization - Avanade likes to massively over-engineering every process and corp is filled with people doing busywork in an effort to try to look like they're adding value

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
