Pros

Some great people, along with a decent culture and perks.

Cons

Accenture is absorbing more and more of Avanade. What made Avanade a great place to work is being quickly lost and people are leaving in droves. Chasing certifications at all costs rather than actual knowledge means projects would be staffed with ill equipped teams and false SME's who had dumped a bunch of exams. It can be very much "who you know" rather than what you can do or have done, with people rising up rapidly through knowing and aligning with the right people. Being on the right client is what sets the career path, not really the work you do.

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
