Pros

Great opportunities for career growth if you get lucky with good projects. Getting to work with Microsoft .NET technologies is awesome, much preferred to Java ecosystem.

Cons

Benefits package is not that great relatively speaking, you get paid less than at other companies because Avanade functions as essentially a subsidiary of Accenture and Accenture takes a large chunk of the earnings as it feeds the projects to Avanade.

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.
