Has anyone worked at Avanade? A recruiter reached out for a role in their cyber security practice. How is the firm in terms of work, culture, growth etc.?

I worked in a different service line the cyber at Avanade before transitioning to the big 4.

Pros:
1. I found by in large the people to be great and geek out over technology - in a good way
2. Not as bureaucratic as the big 4
3. Work on some pretty cool projects from a technology perspective
4. When I was there they consistently had double digit growth
5. Access to the latest tech and information from Microsoft

Cons:
1. Sometimes felt like we were solely implementing tech, not always “consulting”
2. At least when I was there, an interesting dynamic with Accenture. Kind of felt like we were the step child. Accenture does staff Avanade on projects fairly regularly, but you are viewed as second class (by in large, I’m sure some projects are different)
3. Bonus was substantially lower than at my current big4

Can you provide some more insight?

My boss worked at Avenade for a long time. He made SM there before transferring to Accenture. His view is, as one of the comments above noted, he was treated like a stepchild on Accenture projects.
If it pays what you're looking for and the work seems to suit your interests, there's no reason not to take a job there, but I expect you'll be looking to transition either to MS or ACN eventually.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
