Pros

Talented people, access to latest Microsoft technologies

Cons

Accenture as parent company has too much control over Avanade. Over the last 18 months, Avanade has slashed their internal workforce with a "Future Ready" talent strategy, replacing almost all roles in corporate functions (HR, Finance, IT) with offshore resources (India, Argentina, Spain). In the consulting workforce, many of the most senior individuals have left, leaving a big gap in leadership coaching/mentoring. Those that stayed continue to work crazy hours with little to no time for professional development/training.

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.
