Pros

-Training opportunities -Top notch accommodations when traveling -Challenging clients -Most people are great to work with (smart, protective of their people, etc.) -Extended benefits ($2000 a year to spend on stuff for work/life balance items)

Cons

-Lost some of the culture that made it great. Has gone from a somewhat startup culture to more corporate -Recent acquisition has muddied the cultural waters. Many "new" people don't have the same work ethic/values -Beholden to Accenture many times -Try to be transparent about career path but realistically it can all be thrown in the trash for things you should be doing that aren't on paper (or told to you after it was too late) -Consultants are expected to try and staff themselves

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.
