Pros

Great place to learn the skills pertinent to your job field if you are just starting off. The hours are long at times, but its a great way to absorb everything. People in the company are generally helpful in all aspects, ready to spill their brains, as opposed to other companies where people don't like to share for the sake of job security. The perks also vary depending on your Project Manager, but if you're lucky you might get a really awesome PM and enjoy yourself while traveling. There is also "bench" time where if you are not on a project, you pretty much get to hang out at home playing xbox and still get paid.

Cons

Long hours. First 10 hours are 1/2 pay, then the rest are 1.5x pay. This doesn't apply to higher level people though, only peons. =)

Pros

Avanade is a fantastic place to work for anyone who want to be at the pinnacle of technology. You will work with very good to great clients and work (for the most part) with the leading edge of Microsoft technologies. This is also one of the smartest group of people I have ever worked with. If you like to travel or want to build up frequent flier miles you can get more than you will ever use.

Cons

Work life balance is simply awful. You are on the road 100% for years at a time. If you are single, fresh out of school or an empty nester, then this can be ok for a bit, but it is not sustainable for most folks for a very long time. Consulting is very sensative to economic ups and downs. When times are good, there is plenty of perks and communications from management, but when things go pear shaped. the communication goes down hill, both in quantity and quality.
