    People rarely achieve their billability target as there aren't a lot of projects so it's a difficult place to be.
    The good thingsGood exposure to clients
    The challenges1. Consultants have multiple people to report to.. Accenture managers, Avanade managers and obviously the Client. And most of the times, it is difficult to keep everyone happy. 2.No long term projects 3.They hire for Big Data projects, and then say they have projects only on Microsoft stack.

    Just another number...
    The good thingsPerks - health insurance, gadget allowance, 5 weeks leave
    The challengesProject experiences rarely use the latest technology, so don't expect your work to be bleeding edge. Chargeability comes before career aspirations; it's common to do projects which don't align to your skills and/or interests.

    Good place to start consulting, move on if stuck in same place for ever.
    The good thingsGreat company, people are great, benefits are good too. Also their technology culture keeps eye on the latest tech developments.

    The good thingsGreat people, well integrated team, HR support was good. People are recognised well for their contribution.
    The challengesClient work, client that we were assigned to had very different culture and work styles, which applied to us as consultants. But that's the nature of consulting work.

    It was a good run while it lasted but changed through time and lost it's character.
    The good thingsDiverse group of employees. Good start-up company.
    The challengesManagement is remote and will never understand what goes on locally. They are not helpful to local needs. Role has changed and needs a larger group to be more effective.

    5 to 6 years in the role
    Top class Microsoft specialist professional services, but expect work-life balance to be challenged.
    The good thingsMost of the staff are great people, committed, professional, genuine, hard-working & talented. Great teamwork. Opportunities for travel if wanted. Good training. Work with offshore teams. Leading edge technology. Good variety of projects.
    The challengesVery heavyweight process & admin. Drive to offshore work when not necessarily appropriate. Tendency to underestimate projects resulting in staff being overworked. Work-life balance often compromised due to pressures of work. Culture has suffered over the last few years.

    Career making opportunity - just make sure to jump off the ship when it suits you
    The good thingsExposure to large enterprise customers Career development opportunities are exceptional during your early career, and can climb the ladder quickly, picking up a lot of good experience and technical knowledge along the way Benefits and perks are the best in the business - there is a big emphasis on training and certification, and the annual bonus and gadget allowances sweeten the deal Opportunities to travel
    The challengesWorking for large enterprise customers - you must adopt their work culture and fit in to their organisation when completing a project, which can have it's own challenges Recognition of your work is poor - you need to constantly \"sell\" yourself to your peers and self promote your achievements Extended travel - it is not uncommon to be stuck on an interstate project for months on end, flying back and forth every week. Whilst there are opportunities to stay up to date with the latest technologies and innovations, if you cement yourself as an SME in anything, expect to be placed on projects demanding these skills for your foreseeable future

    Being able to innovate daily is great!
    The good thingsRight at the forefront of Microsoft technologies. Training and development is taken very seriously as its pivotal to the Company's success as a leading edge solution provider
    The challengesSometimes we're using technologies that are so new, we're effectively writing the rulebooks as we go, which can be very challenging (but exciting!) when there isn't always much reference material to fall back on.
