Pros

Great at first. Good benefits and raises to keep you in line with the market. Paid training and certs. Experience working in many different industries. Intelligent/hard working coworkers, always willing to help. Severance package and job search help.

Cons

There was a big shift in last couple years. Massive layoffs, one after another. Not just people on the bench, either. The PM on my team was let go suddenly due to layoffs, and was immediately replaced by a new employee. Throughout the last couple years, we had company meetings highlighting how well we were doing. Followed by massive cuts that came out of nowhere. Followed by a company meeting to say there are no further layoffs planned. Followed by further layoffs. Why hire the same roles as the people you're laying off? A lot of long-time/invaluable people stopped logging in out of the blue. "Am I next?" At the forefront of your mind. Repeated assurance that it won't happen to you, until you wake up to that Business Discussion invite on your calendar. There is not enough projects and no plan. Everyone knows the tool you are forced to use to apply to jobs is useless.

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.
