Pros

Very strong mission Very strong technical n talented resources Very good package in general Very good management

Cons

Working for Avanade is awesome, but is not Avanade only you work for, Accenture managers and business leads will always be their over you head making life toxic and clients overwhelmed, never missing an opportunity to make untechnical n uneducated decisions They treat the Dev resources like and worst than working horses and will end up writing your feedback and annual reviews One bad Accenture manager (and they are a lot) can cause you a lot of damage, Plus... you will end up traveling to client offices from NY to CA and sometime they will ask you to relocate You have th right to deny first 2 or 3 offers to work for a client out of state, but then you will feel the pressure from your leads, which will make you eventually leave, and take. Flight every weekend to far away remote location, for at least 4 month in a row

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.
