Pros

Training, large clients, company is growing, you can work on large complex and challenging projects.

Cons

Company is divided into distinct service lines focused on MS technology applications, and doesnt team across these service lines well. Managment approach is very methodical and Accenture-like, resulting in slow moving approaches to address business needs. As you move up the management ranks, some service lines lack an inclusive senior management team.

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.
