Pros

Great training program. They have a great training program/team who truly cares about building your career

Cons

Unfortunately project execution is a joke. All projects I was in were in some way screwed up either by the Accenture relationship or by poor management practices. They promote based on how hard you work on your last screwed up project so the people that end up leading projects continue the vicious cycle of having to marry your job to get the project done.

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.
