Pros

Access to training and Microsoft technology is second to none. 80/year required training. I work with some incredibly smart and humble folks. Variety of projects to work on. - that you may or may not have chosen to be on.

Cons

Travel can be 100%. For me it's been 100% for the past year, travelling Sunday thru late Thursday because of client commitments. Then meetings on Friday, I might get 1 1/2 days or less to spend with my family before getting back on the road. Long days, minimal options to pick projects. Always worried about layoffs from company or if/when bench clock runs out.You find out layoffs are occurring when you hear about them from the folks getting laid off then a few days later when mgt has heard everyone complain - then they issue a message about it.

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.
