Pros

Potential to work on many interesting technologies and projects. Most colleagues are great to work with.

Cons

No work life balance. Some bully managers. No overtime (b/c you are exempt). Some managers make you work long hours to look good in front of their superiors and clients. Projects under Accenture are "priced" first, analyzed later. Pay is lower than competition. Benefits in line with competition. High turn over rate.

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.
