Pros

Avanade is a great place to work to develop your technical ability. You are frequently challenged, doing meaningful work for frequently demanding clients. As a former manager put it, "by the time Avanade is called in to a project, the sh*t has typically hit the fan. A project is flagging and needs to be put back on course or some solution needs to be delivered yesterday. So by definition, our work is demanding"

Cons

As a decentralized consulting firm, its easy to get lost in the siberian outpost of "client site". Its very easy to feel like you work for the client over Avanade and it takes effort to maintain a good strong connection to the mothership particularly on long running 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.
