Pros

You get to work with some cool Microsoft technologies before they are even available to the public. Good benefits, MSDN subscription. You get to work with lots of interesting and smart people.

Cons

Not much in the way of work life balance. If all you like to do is work and sleep this is the place for you. Bill 40 work 80 should be the company motto.

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.
