Pros

Great place to work if you are just starting your career. You can pick up both technology and business skills while working for a lot of diverse clients, if you are open to travel.

Cons

As the company is trying to grow, focus is on sales but not enough on people. Company is teaming up with Accenture more these days, which affects the company culture. Rank and file consultants can feel treated like pawns by senior management. Career model has gone through several rounds of changes recently. But it all felt like 'nominal' changes, not much real stuff there. With those so-called metrics in place, management has short-term behavior because the metrics are done annually.

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.
