Pros

- Training - Travel perks (miles or hotel points)

Cons

- Not a true meritocracy (skin color makes a BIG difference when it comes to promotion time/appraisals) - At the mercy of Accenture for most projects -Politically charged and caustic workplace environment - Lack of technical depth unlike claims to be msft experts More often than not, we goto Microsoft for help/SME support - Senior management only cares about margins and not the quality of business - Poor work-life balance (depending on project)

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.
