Pros

Access to the latest and greatest Microsoft tech. Great colleagues who are smart and always willing to assist.

Cons

Avanade has shifted to a regional model, where each region of the US / Globe is responsible for its own employees. While on paper this sounds good, it leads to inconsistent treatment of employees who do the same thing but live in different areas. If you're on a project out of your region, your leadership will often not notice nor care about your achievements. Also, time at level has become a new standard. Despite your performance, if you haven't been at your level for x number of years you wont be considered for promo.

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.
