Pros

decent salary, standard perks, many projects to choose from

Cons

a lot of bureaucracy, a myriad of restrictions, people brainlessly following irrelevant rules, you'll be pushed to offer certain solutions just because they are expensive over time with no regard to solution viability, a lot of intra-company spam mail to distract you daily, a lot of it marked high priority, pointless trainings you are obligated to attend, etc.

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.
