Pros

1) The vision of the company is great - To be the leading innovator on the Microsoft platform and that's what they are trying to do. 2) Surrounded by like minded and passionate technical folks

Cons

1) Ultimately, its all about chasing billable work. Push comes to shove, vision and good intentions goes out the window. This happens VERY often. 2) Management seems to believe that the company compensation is competitive when each and every ex-Avanade gets attractive offers. 3) Lack of a proper technical career progression path - everyone is expected to be a solution architect + project manager + pre-sales support, ALL at the same time.
