Pros

You get to work with smart people. Solid brand even if no one has heard of it. Huge opportunity for techies. Hiring focus on women and minorities.

Cons

Tribes, clicks, good old boys network that you must join to succeed. Leadership rotates and so do policies and programs with each new leader. Be aware that Accenture owns and operates Avanade and that you will play 2nd fiddle to them always

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.
