Pros

Great people and culture - much more switched on and less political than most companies. Work will vary project by project but you can create your own opportunities by specializing in new and hot areas and by getting more involved in supporting sales to open or expand customers relationships. Benefits are excellent especially extended benefits (gadget fund). Future seems bright and mood is quite upbeat.

Cons

Travel and being stuck on a tough project even though there is now more focus on local work in the new US org model. Have to learn to protect the personal time. Sometimes customers are not aware or willing to try the new Microsoft technologies which could be better than what they are using. Finding time to train on all the new releases.

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.
