Pros

MSDN and Books 24x7 subscriptions

Cons

Lied to about everything having to do with the job. Accenture is in charge and Accenture's management is comprised of people that lack basic communication and project management skills. I met some great people that were hired at the same time based on the same things I was told, everyone has left.

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.
