Pros

Quality training. Great delivery methodology. Nice events - they truly make an effort to connect consultants. Get to work with very competent team members.

Cons

Archaic annual review process. The process is horrible and it is all about who knows who. They actually get everyone in a room for a level above candidates being stack-ranked and talk about each candidate. Keep in mind 90% of the people in the room don't know the candidates. May not be staffed on a company project, but instead be staffed on an Accenture project where Avanade employees are not treated very well. Very much a good ole boy network that I thought was gone from the workplace until joining Avanade.

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.
