Pros

Paid while on the bench. Paid overtime. Good starting place for someone with less then 2 years experience or limited skills.

Cons

Pay is low, at least 10% below market. No work life balance, can’t take vacation while on a project. Micromanaged from both Accenture and Avande. 401k match after 1 year (High Turnover). Limited to Microsoft technology.

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.
