Pros

My role was fully remote, as was the entire team I worked with, so it was nice to never need to commute or go into the office. I was also able to set my own schedule and have a flexible workweek, since I worked in an internal role. If you are also looking to "get your foot in the door" this can be a good company to get in with. When I was there, they really cared about the people experience.

Cons

The workload kept increasing without any realistic plan for make it reasonable. By the time I left, I was doing the work of a small team all by myself. I also changed roles a couple of times, and my work from the old role was never properly off-loaded. Additionally, my second manager treated me terribly, as he was always insulting me and would never give me space to speak, even during my own 1:1 time with him - he used up all the air time whenever possible. And there was someone else who often tokenized me based upon my race (ie: when introducing ourselves to our new executive, everybody else was told to talk about their job experience and aspirations, but I was told to talk about my culture), which was disappointing and uncomfortable.

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.
