Pros

Work with lots of smart and technical people around the globe. Good training opportunities for the cutting-edge Microsoft-based technology Various project assignments help building us one's experience really quickly. Large internal community to help when facing technical challenges.

Cons

Often have to work with Accenture people, who treat Avanade people as less than equal. In order to make Director, one has to show business value, which means selling projects to the clients.

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.
