Pros
Avanade has a Good working environment, great colleagues, fair benefits and is owned by Accenture, so moving around is easy. I found the work environment was relaxed, focusing on getting your work done, from wherever and whenever possible. Office hours were mandatory only by the fact it was the most efficient way to work and face time is important. Working from home though was no big deal.
Cons
Long hours, pay is a little below that of another firm such as Accenture. Sometimes the tasks can get a little too specialized. it's also a consulting firm, so expect to be exempt from a lot of overtime pay, but be "on-call" quite a bit. Sunday afternoon calls with Asia (their morning) were very routine for me.
