Pros

Some of the brightest and most naturally talented people I've ever worked with. Because parent companies are IT industry power houses, you get to be involved in very exciting projects and work with tier 1 customers. Great experience. Delivery excellent and estimation of effort very accurate

Cons

Bully culture, especially in sales team. LT are more interested in safe done this before projects than actually leading customers down the road of innovation. Margin bias so high many deals lost due to pricing themselves out of opportunity. Too reliant on a handful of key wins and still at mercy of Accenture led projects.

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.
