Pros

Trying to do the right thing & become more relevant to our clients. Good marketing / spin

Cons

Bureaucratic organization & processes can be overwhelming. Public company with short term focus Very poor professional development approach Over the top emphasis on social activism (ie there is a group of everything) Having a very poor 2017 (especially in US & Japan) The offshore team (GDN) is awful to work (GDN cares only about charging hours to your WBS, nothing about delivering for the client) High turnover

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.
