Pros

Lot of focus on learning and development, they spend huge money on learning and development. Renumeration is good compared to other IT services companies. Understand IT trends and try to ensure employee is aware of the same. Global presence. Have all kinds of projects and use all kinds of technologies. Process driven. Good scope for working in foreign countries. Lot of focus/encouragement on innovation and making difference at any/all levels.

Cons

Recruitment process needs to be tightened so that poor performers don't get a job in the organisation. Poor performers are shown the door, period. No job security. If you join the organisation and have to report to bench then you will be lost and you will hate the company. Supervisor/manager has too much power/authority and can make or break the career of an employee.

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.
