Pros

If you like to always be on the move, learning new things and enjoy nomadic moving from project to project then Consulting will fit the bill and Avanade follow this lifestyle, you will skill up in many different areas and have a vibrant community of long timers who can support you.

Cons

Can't become an expert in one area, it's really based on the demand the company is seeing. Mentorship is sparse, you have learn by yourself and for such a large and established company, internal learnings and best practices are non-existent. Consulting means you do not form close attachments to others in your company, this is the primary cause of attrition as well as burn out from difficult project working with offshore teams.

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.
