Pros

Good for people early in their career wanting to progress technically and up the ladder generally

Cons

Progression highly dependent on your contacts and social closeness. Overly bureaucratic for its size (perhaps Accenture affect). Delivery managers have a very traditional style and approach. No real touch with technology, Avanade being a technology company. This infuses frustration among people who focus on getting work done rather than getting caught up with political animals.

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.
