Almost everyone I worked with and under was very kind. There was a lot of time dedicated to my professional development, and a wealth of mentors. It is a great place for someone to be
Cons
You kind of get whatever project you get. Despite all the unusually kind people, I left because I kept getting put on projects I did not think were relevant to the skillset I was trying to develop.

I'm happy to read you enjoyed your time here at Avanade and were able to take advantage of the development and mentorship opportunities we provide! If you have other comments or feedback, please feel free to send me an email at amy.wright@avanade.com
Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture
Recognition for good work
Cons
Consulting in general is not what it used to be
Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles'
CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle
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.
