Pros

There are tons of opportunities to learn new MS technologies and to get in-depth experience with a variety of .NET skills. There are many training classes and programs available (although on your own time - after you've put in your 40+ hours for your client/project). Also, it's great having the opportunity to work with very smart people.

Cons

Avanade is a very male-centric company, the pay/compensation is mediocre, and the annual review process isn't based on merit = it's based on who you know and shows a lot of favoritism.

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.
