Pros

used to be a good place to work - not anymore

Cons

1. It's a sinking ship, and management is trying to fix holes with duct tape. 2. Quarterly Layoff is a normal thing - you have a project, you stay, or else you are kicked out. 3. Not a consulting firm anymore - more of a recruitment agency, You are here till you have a project (customer billing) else you're out. 4. A deck with 500 or even 10000 slides won't fix the problems; they need to understand the market trend. 5. If you have options, don't join Avanade—they might hire you as an architect but sell you as a system admin.

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.
