Pros

Great, smart people who are passionate. Cool things to work on. Feels like the company has a strategy and momentum

Cons

The company is somewhat conflicted between strategic goals and what needs to happen in short term to close business. This conflict creates a lot of tension. Also, they say they want to be independent of Accenture (one of two parents, the other is Microsoft) but most efforts tend to favor projects coming from Accenture and there is little willingness to invest in new client development.

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.
