Pros

The employee benefits, as well as the training model they have setup to help you constantly be updating and honing your skills. They also offer a vast amount of free software through the parent relationship with Microsoft. There seems to be quite an emphasis people being their assets which is refreshing to show that they seem to genuinely care about their employees, and don't just see them as a number.

Cons

Hit or miss with travel, if you want to travel sometimes it seems like there is no work traveling, and if you want to stay local, there is no local work. Sometimes project might not be the latest and greatest technology you might want to work with.

Pros

Best place to get acquainted with Microsoft Products. Avanade is very receptive to new grads/entry level consultants and invests a lot of capital in growth and development of their consultants. Good place to get certified as exams and study materials are subsidized.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy to wade through. Very hard to get the word out to voice concerns and intimidating at times. Expect a lot of bench time if you're a level 20. Expect to relocate or extended travel for some projects with only a portion of costs of transportation subsidized by Avanade.

Pros

Great fiscal discipline and ability to execute, complete customer obsession in front line consultants. We treat our people and customers with integrity and truthfulness, and I love being able to work with some of the smartest people in the technology industry.

Cons

Career upside is limited as you make it into senior ranks, as the company scales more and more emphasis is placed on bottom line and operating efficiency at the expense of risk taking and innovation. Also, the flat organization structure that placed more emphasis on collabration and group success is being replaced by a growth at all costs, you're only as good as your quota mentality, kind of sad given the company is still private and should be able to take more risks and place bigger, longer term bets
