Pros

Great smart people as team. Great training and experience Challenging projects.

Cons

Owned by Big Brother Accenture and the are taking over the culture, lost the Microsoft culture which was part of startup. 75% of projects are run by Accenture and this limits growth above manager level. Accenture treats Avanade resources as second class citizens. A lot of new upper management is sourced from Accenture.

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.
