Pros

Microsoft technical training is given to everyone via internal virtual bootcamps, as well as MSDN access for everyone.

Cons

The management can be less than awe-inspiring - this stems from an Accenture based model that seems to focus less on quality and repeat business and more on "how many bodies can we staff at once".

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.
