Avanade has great culture, but not great compensation. It is NOT Accenture culture, it’s much better.

I’ve worked with a couple of Avanade consultants in my past jobs. Basically they are a variation of Accenture (since Avanade is the Microsoft partnership for MS product services / consulting). Pay is lower than Accenture, and the titles/levels are also deemed lower. Example a Avanade experienced Manager was deemed equal to an experienced SC or new Manager at Accenture. Even if moving to other consulting firms, they will deem the role levels one level lower to the same title at the bigger consulting company. BTW, I was mostly impressed with the Avanade resources, though they were heavily tech.
