Pros

Avanade is definitely a very collaborative environment with a great office culture (in Chicago at least) if you choose to get involved (would highly recommend). They also offer a lot of great resources in terms of developing new skills.

Cons

If you're coming in as an analyst, your experience with Avanade can depend heavily on your first couple of projects (assuming that you have the opportunity to get on more than one). If you're on a project that you're not thrilled to be on, then you'll find yourself in a tricky situation where if you speak up about it, it might negatively affect your performance reviews, but if you don't speak up, then you might find yourself going down a path that you don't want to be on. This also heavily depends on your relationship with your career adviser and whether or not you feel the freedom to speak up about these issues.

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.
