Pros

- Work with a lot of smart and talented people. - Get access to an msdn subscription and have full access to Microsoft software. - Possibility of traveling all over the United States to work on different projects with different clients. - A lot of free training opportunities to learn about Microsoft technologies and earn certifications. - If on a traveling project, work from home on Fridays.

Cons

- Expected 80% travel. - Possibly working long hours (50 - 70 hours per week). - High risk job environment if there are no available projects to staff you on. - Not as much interaction with co-workers from your area. Difficult to build the sense of community and culture among peers with the constant travel.

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.
