Pros

Avanade is a Microsoft shop and pushes all of it's employees to become certified in Microsoft Products and Services. Good place to get certified.

Cons

Most projects are subcontracted out from Accenture and Avanade has very little direct business. This means most projects are managed by Accenture and there is little career growth towards managing projects.

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.
