Pros

- Supportive and talented team: My colleagues were the highlight of the job. Collaborative, positive, and always ready to lend a hand. They made the day-to-day manageable and brought a sense of camaraderie.

Cons

- Zero strategic thinking: Projects often felt rushed and reactive, with little to no foresight or planning. Ideas were implemented without considering long-term impact. - Poor organizational structure: There was no clear hierarchy or process guidance. Everyone was left figuring things out in their own way, leading to confusion and repeated inefficiencies. - Unstable environment: The sudden layoff reflected the company’s overall lack of planning and care for employee wellbeing. Communication around changes was minimal and impersonal.

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.
