Pros

Competitive pay scale when I first started ten years ago, may be less so now for new joiners. Interesting work and solid client list.

Cons

Leadership has changed so drastically from when I started, leadership is no longer best in class with employees' best interest at heart. A few less than ideal leaders replaced absolutely awesome leaders, who then have supported promoting their friends over the best candidate. Promotion process is a popularity contest over anything else. The company is known for firing or "laying off" workers over 50, and is hard pressed to support women in leadership.

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.
