Pros

Some really good people with exceptional Microsoft knowledge and experience

Cons

No pay rise or bonus for several years. Company has been mismanaged, focussing on their own hype, setting impossible sales and revenue targets and not recognising the sentiment of the staff that do the actual work. Eventually Avanade will be incorporated into Accenture as it doesn't make sense to run it as a separate entity. Morale is very very low and many people are leaving the business.

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.
