Pros

Been on great projects with awesome clients and received generous raises and promotions and awesome benefits with paid certifications.

Cons

If you are not on a long term project and enjoy countless short term project jumping do not make long term commitment as in buying a house, this isn't a long term career job as many consulting jobs aren't. Avoid Bench at all cost or you will be laid off eventually. There has been many veteran long term employees who have been laid off in the past year or two and I never seen a company who wouldn't rehire them unlike other firms I worked for. Also more money and promotions you make, you can forget about working on projects that you are a pro at due to level cost, which makes it hard to find desirable project and you will be on bench. My Scheduling is a tool to look for projects and apply, but you will find it pointless. Also Avanade has career advisors who are clueless and don't help in finding projects. They're selfish and only care about themselves.

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.
