Pros

I joined right after college - put me in a great position to learn a lot, gain quite a bit of experience quickly, and (when I voiced my interest) go into leadership (Project management) type roles.

Cons

I felt my starting salary out of college was low 54700, when glassdoor reflected higher, I tried to negotiate and was shot down. I was told I would make the difference in OT, but all my projects told me OT was not allowed. The culture changes completely depending on the account/project/client you are on. Sometimes you might be lucky, sometimes not. I was on a client where I felt the Avanade side was a boys club and management protects the people who make them money - even if they shouldn't be with the company.

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.
