Pros

Great pitch for those wanting to develop a rewarding and gainful career in technology on the Microsoft platform

Cons

- Client selectivity is poor, likely due to rate levels and pressure to deliver results - Project work can be non-gainful and almost embarrassing to work on - Most corporate communication is content-free, almost to an intelligence-insulting degree - Unclear if Sr. Leadership has any real autonomy outside of Accenture

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.
