Pros

access to Microsoft Technologies, access to unique training, is an org that believes in diversity, showed progressive attitude by elevating women to all sorts of roles as well as ack LGTBQ within the workplace.

Cons

jointly owned by Accenture and despite Avanade having its own leadership - it really bent to Accenture's whims, has a hybrid consulting model that usually resulted in consultants providing staff support vs Avanade-lead project engagement, consultants competing with other consultants for roles (unbeknownst to them) - especially offshore consultants that traditionally cost customers less $/hr. consultants who travel are preferred over consultants that do not.

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.
