Pros

smart and interesting people, good benefits, leading in technology

Cons

Avanade promotes work-life balance, however, your workload is so full it's difficult to get the job done in a 60 hour week! Base pay is 20% less tan market-Difficult to get promoted even with excellent reviews! Deep process to everything, lots of emails coming your way from multiple departments, above average meetings which can kill progress if you don't manage

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.
