Pros

- Good name (Microsoft + Accenture) - OK benefits

Cons

- No real career prospects - Very political - if you aren't a director or above, you are just a pawn on the board; and most employees never make to director. - Boys club - Most of the colleagues aren't great in technology - Interview process is from the '80s: friendly small talk instead of selecting smart people - Your job will be to supervise the outsourced projects and try to fix what the offshore centres mess up every day - Quantity over quality - Nothing is cutting edge, stale corporate clients - Strictly Microsoft technologies

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.
