Pros

Avanade has excellent people who truly care about the individual and try to help people succeed. Fast paced in some respects, lots of different project and opportunities to grow. Really practice what they preach in respect to diversity ( or at least they try their best given the industry)

Cons

Completely mired in process and overburdened and subservient to Accenture. It is very difficult to move the needle in this organization without Accenture's approval. Most of the time you are selling to Accenture, not the client.

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.
